Nemanja Radungic, the 25-year-old Serbian winger on loan from Marseille, may leave Benfica this month, to put an early end to a deal that has been sealed until the end of the season. The player, Benviquista Sade and coach Nelson Verissimo have not made any kind of decision yet, but the Serbia international is not satisfied at Luz, where he has a kind of secondary role, and the desire to leave is no longer a secret at the club.
