Leandro Barreiro could leave Benfica before the window shuts | OneFootball

With the summer transfer window coming to an end, Leandro Barreiro could be one of the next players to leave Benfica. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reports the possibility of the player packing his bags in time to leave the Estádio da Luz in these last days of the summer transfer period.

Our newspaper has learned, through a close source, that the Luxembourg international risks losing his place in Bruno Lage's squad. One of the factors is related to the imminent arrival of Georgiy Sudakov, who will be a new signing for the Eagles. Given this situation, the number 18 would have even less playing time.

Thus, according to Glorioso 1904, Benfica is considering his departure; however, our newspaper knows that the Eagles have not yet decided whether Leandro Barreiro will leave Estádio da Luz on a permanent transfer or on loan. Nevertheless, the versatile midfielder, who can play in different areas of the midfield, faces strong competition for a spot in the starting eleven.

Our newspaper knows that with the possible signing of Carlos Álvarez, a target Benfica is monitoring, the situation for the Luxembourg player at Estádio da Luz would become even more complicated. This is because it would 'force' Fredrik Aursnes to drop deeper on the pitch, since the Norwegian has been adapted by Bruno Lage to play as a right winger since the start of this season.

Signed last season on a free transfer, Leandro Barreiro has always been a player who earned opportunities and the trust of Bruno Lage. This season, the number 18 – valued at 15 million euros – has so far played 7 official matches: four Champions League qualifiers, two in Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Super Cup. In the 249 minutes he was on the pitch, he recorded one assist.
