Argentinian 19 year winger Agustin Urzi has told TNT Sports that Benfica is one of an extensive list of clubs to have approached his agent and club Banfield to discuss his potential services next season. Urzi who has come through the Banfield system made his first team appearance last season and has appeared in 32 games for the club across all competitions. The acquisition of Urzi who primarily plays left wing would provide an option that Benfica currently lacks to shift to a 4-3-3 system when necessary. Urzi did not disclose to TNT Sports if any dollar figures have been exchanged between Benfica and Banfield but is excited about a potential move to a bigger club in the future.
Alaves look to have made a decision on midfielder Ljubomir Fejsa for next season and the Spanish side will pass on making the loan move from Benfica permanent. Fejsa who is a defensive midfield specialist offers little offensively and has made five appearance for Alaves since joining on loan in January. The 31 year old Serbian became a member of Benfica in the summer of 2013 from Olympiakos for €4.5M and has appeared in 169 games across all competitions. Fejsa has won thirteen trophies in his time with Benfica which includes five league championships and is an active member of the Serbian national side, last appearing for his country in June of 2019.
English club Newcastle are reportedly interested in Benfica play maker Rafa Silva as an addition to the club for next season and are just awaiting to see what their finances look like amid the COVID-19 virus. Newcastle are said to be ready to offer Benfica between €15M-€20M for the 26 year old winger but the Lisbon side will likely hold off on selling Rafa if it does not receive at least a €25M to €30M offer from the Baggies. Benfica acquired Rafa from Braga for €16M in the summer of 2016 and he has appeared in 125 games across all competitions since joining the club, scoring 35 goals while assisting on 20. Rafa was also a member of Portugal's winning Euro 2016 squad and their 2019 Nations League title winners.
