Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Rui Costa promises big bonus for Benfica squad | OneFootball

The Benfica squad will be entitled to a significant monetary prize if they manage to qualify for the Champions League group stage. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, we reveal that Rui Costa has already informed Bruno Lage's charges, providing an extra incentive for the game against Fenerbahçe.

"These kinds of things are relatively normal in the world of football. The players are professionals and give their all on the pitch, but an extra incentive is always welcome in the locker room and that was Rui Costa's goal with this measure," a source close to the process told Glorioso 1904.

"If Benfica enters the Champions League, we're talking about a revenue of around 50 million euros. It's a prize that, clearly, the football structure will be happy to pay," another source told our newspaper, considering this type of practice normal from the direction led by Rui Costa.

So far, Benfica is having a perfect start to the season. After the triumph in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, against Sporting, by 1-0, with a goal from Vangelis Pavidis, the reds left Nice behind with two 2-0 victories and are well on their way to securing a place in the Champions League group stage, after the goalless draw in Turkey, against Fenerbahçe.

In the Liga Portugal Betclic, Bruno Lage's team started by winning at Estrela da Amadora's ground (1-0, goal by Pavlidis) and thrashed Tondela last weekend, by 3-0, with goals from Franjo Ivanovic, Fredrik Aursnes and Gianluca Prestianni, in one of the best performances so far.
