Benfica defender Ferro set for loan move to Spain

Benfica defender Ferro is set for a loan move to Spanish side Valencia with the 23 year old scheduled to fly to Spain next week for medicals. With the arrival of defender Lucas Verissimo from Santos in the next coming weeks, Ferro's playing time at the club would be further reduced then what it already is now, so the youngster is open to a move abroad.

Ferro is a Benfica academy product and would join former academy teammate Goncalo Guedes at Valencia. Ferro made his senior team appearance with Benfica in early 2019 and has appeared in 63 games across all competitions scoring 4 goals. Ferro would be the fifth academy player to be loaned out by the club, joining Jota, Tomas Tavares, Florentino and Tiago Dantas since the arrival of Jorge Jesus this summer.
