Benfica's midfield search takes them to Italy once more

Benfica continue their search to upgrade their midfield and have been linked once more with Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas according to website Tuttomercatoweb. Benfica were previously linked with the 21 year old Macedonian international who has been at Napoli since the summer of 2019 after making move from Fenerbahce for €16.1M. Any move for the attacking midfielder will not come cheap but Napoli and Benfica have had talks in the past about Benfica left back Alex Grimaldo who may be on the move this summer and Benfica may ask that Elmas be included in the package for the Spaniard. Elmas has appeared in 80 games across all competitions for Napoli, scoring four goals while setting up two.
