a The summer transfer market opens in just over a month’s time and Benfica already have advanced plans for what is expected to be a real “revolution” on both sides of the team’s defense under Roger Schmidt.

Alejandro Grimaldo must leave “at no cost”, as his contract is at an end and there is no solution on the horizon that would make renewal possible, while Gilberto has interested parties in Brazil, especially since he began to lose more and more space in the German coach’s accounts.

And the “Record” newspaper adds, on Wednesday, that Milos Kirkiz was chosen to face the Spanish “farewell”, in a deal that could generate about ten million euros for AZ Alkmaar, in addition to bonuses according to the achievement of goals.

The Canaries, on the other hand, should replace Thiago Santos, the 20-year-old winger who trained at Sporting, who caught the eye of Estoril this season, putting the red team on the table, a €5m proposal for 75% of the ticket.
