On his way out, Tiago Gouveia sees Benfica put his farewell on ice | OneFootball

Although the press assures that the deal for Tiago Gouveia is concluded, Benfica has not yet given permission for the player to travel to his new destination. It has been determined that the footballer - who will be joining Nice - is still waiting for the green light from the Eagles to 'take off' from Estádio da Luz.

According to the newspaper A Bola, in its Friday edition, August 29, the number 47 of the Reds has not yet traveled to the south of France, as Benfica is still 'putting things in order', which has delayed the authorization for the right winger, often adapted to full-back, to board a plane.

As determined yesterday, Tiago Gouveia will be joining Nice on loan until the end of the current season. However, Benfica knows that in the end, they will receive a good sum for the player trained in Seixal, as the French have a mandatory purchase clause set at 10 million euros.

Still without permission to travel, the press reveals that the young footballer will not return to Seixal today to prepare for the match on Sunday, August 31, against Alverca, for the 4th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The number 47, after the victory against Fenerbahçe (1-0), is said to have already bid farewell to his teammates and technical staff.

It should be noted that this was not the plan for either party, but the limited playing time Tiago Gouveia has been accumulating with the Reds ended up being decisive in the decision. This season, the forward has only 18 minutes with Benfica's jersey, having played a total of 363' last season.
