Benfica joined the fight for Alvarez

Benfica have entered the race to sign Edson Alvarez. This is reported by Florian Plettenberg. According to the source, the Portuguese club is already studying the possibility of transferring the Mexican midfielder and is ready to compete with other applicants. Cologne, meanwhile, are keen on signing Alvarez, but the total value of a potential deal remains too high for the German club at the moment. Now the main question is what kind of offer Benfica will be ready to make, because the further development of negotiations regarding the transfer of the Mexican will depend on the financial conditions. The defensive midfielder spent last season in Fenerbahce on loan. Edson played 18 matches in all competitions and provided one assist. Transfermarkt values ​​the player at 15 million euros.
