Once the issue is resolved, the Eagles await a new challenge – hiring another midfielder.

Al-Libi Al-Misrati, from SC Braga, is still on top of the Al-Nusour’s favorites. The club’s presidents, Luis Felipe Vieira and Antonio Salvador, have talked about a possible deal, but the amount requested by the Minho leader, 20 million euros, is considered blocked at Luz. Signing players who are not a priority for Jorge Jesus could be the solution to the understanding between Benfica and Braga.

The first is not part of Jesus’ plans, although there are clubs interested abroad, such as Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Turin, Galatasaray or Dinamo Moscow.
