Lance loaned the Benfica striker

Croatian striker Franjo Ivanovic moved from the Belgian Union Saint-Giloise to the Lisbon Benfica for 22.8 million euros last summer. However, the game experience in the first season in the new club for the 22-year-old performer was noticeably limited. In 43 matches (1513 minutes), the player scored nine goals and provided three assists. In the end, the Croat did not want to continue to be in the shadow of the main striker of the "Eagles" Pavlidis in the upcoming campaign, so Benfica began to look for a club for him at least for temporary performances. French Lance expressed a desire to sign a football player on loan for 2.5 million euros. In addition, 500,000 euros will be received by Benfica as a bonus if the player demonstrates high performance.
