The day before the start of pre-season 2021/22, Benfica continues to work on several dossiers, one of which is redundant.
Winger Cayo Lucas will not be part of Jorge Jesus’ squad and has been denied routine medical and physical tests before returning to training scheduled for next Monday. The 27-year-old has been on loan at Al Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) for the past one and a half seasons, and as one might have learned, staying at the club, now on a permanent basis, is a great opportunity given the current deal. is being finalized.
Another player who will remain outside Portugal is Tyrone Ebuehi. The Nigerian right-back has been linked to Benfica since 2018, but has since been used only by B and U23 teams and returned to the Netherlands last season where he was transferred to Twente.
For now, as the Italian press has moved forward in recent days, Ebuehi must make a commitment to Veneza. On the table is a loan with a commitment to purchase, stipulated in the event that the newly promoted Serie A emblem manages to remain at the highest level of Italian football. The deal is due early next week.
