Agustín Giay is one of those talented young players from Argentina whose future is practically already mapped out: his destiny is European football and most likely an upper-middle-class club.
The 19-year-old right-back from San Lorenzo is one of the targets mentioned by Benfica for the right-back position, but the Reds are not alone, as the international’s name for Argentina’s various youth groups appears on the agenda of several scouting departments in the old continent.
In addition to the general interest of River Plate (current Argentine champions), Marseille has already been linked to the footballer and the City Group, the fund that owns a group of clubs on several continents, including Manchester City, is following his journey. He considers getting one of his crests to buy his pass to San Lorenzo.
Recent news in the country of world champions has also indicated interest in English pennants in Agustín Giay. Information has also been circulated that Real Madrid are considering signing him in December, but according to A BOLA, the Meringue do not have the footballer on their agenda at the moment.

Benfica is looking for a right-back to rival Alexandre Bah. Coach Roger Schmidt has previously indicated to SAD that he wants a replacement for the Denmark international because Joao Victor does not offer him guarantees.

With just over a week before the market closes, the Eagles are still struggling with flaws on the flanks, because in addition to having a blah competitor, a left-back might also arrive.
