Bruno Lage confirmed the principle agreement between Benfica and Fenerbahçe for the sale of Kerem Akturkoglu, but he had many praises for the professionalism of the Turkish winger. The Eagles' coach spoke with journalists at the press conference previewing the match with Alverca, counting for the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. He also uttered his first words about Sudakov.

"Principle agreement for Aktürkoglu? At this moment that is the point. The appropriate people are handling the matter", Bruno Lage began regarding the status of the Turkish winger's dossier, which, it seems, is leaving Benfica, heading to Fenerbahçe.

Bruno Lage continued, with many praises for the attitude that the Turkish winger demonstrated at the end of his journey at the Club of Light: " Aktur was always very happy and with exemplary behavior, if not, he would not have helped us beat Fenerbahçe".

The red coach also commented on Benfica's transfer window, and the constraints that the eagles faced, and the needs that had to be met: "This market took into account several points, two serious injuries, which ended up being 4".

"We had to consider players whose contracts ended, at the end of the loan and the strengthening of the team. Then I will be happy to delve deeper", concluded Bruno Lage, throwing a deeper analysis of the eagles' market for a time after the closing of the transfer window.
