Heads up, Rui Costa! Frederico Varandas’ Sporting eye Benfica star | OneFootball

Giannis Konstantelias is one of the names referenced by Benfica, but the truth is that the PAOK winger could end up heading to… Sporting. According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, Frederico Varandas has his eye on the player who was already on Rui Costa’s radar.

According to the same source, Sporting is considering making a move for Giannis Konstantelias given that the deal for Yeremay seems almost impossible, after Deportivo La Coruña rejected a proposal of 25 million euros, plus 5 million depending on the achievement of certain objectives, for the young Spaniard.

However, at this stage, the Eagles are fully focused on Georgiy Sudakov, and to close the deal, a significant effort will be required from Clube da Luz.

If Benfica is unable to secure the signing of Georgiy Sudakov, those responsible at the club see Giannis Konstantelias as an excellent alternative, and even a cheaper one. It remains to be seen whether, by then, the player will have already joined Sporting, in what promises to be a very hectic week.

This season, wearing the PAOK shirt, Giannis Konstantelias – valued at 17 million euros – has played three matches in the Europa League qualifying phase. In the 284 minutes he was on the pitch, the player performed excellently, despite not having scored any goals.
