With Sudakov on the way, Benfica set sights on new priority | OneFootball

Carlos Álvares is next on the list for Benfica in this final stretch of the transfer window. The 22-year-old Spaniard is the player the Eagles want to see in their squad, just hours after they managed to finalize the signing of Georgiy Sudakov, the creative midfielder from Shakhtar Donetsk, who is already on his way.

According to what the newspaper Record reported today, August 30, negotiations between Benfica and Levante have intensified in recent hours, after the Eagles had already wrapped up the deals for the Ukrainian international—the most expensive in the history of the Glorioso—and for Akturkoglu, who will reinforce Fenerbahçe, which is no longer coached by José Mourinho.

With the transfer window closing in the coming days, the Eagles, led by Rui Costa, intend to secure the 22-year-old winger very soon. However, despite his imminent departure, the young Spaniard was still an option for Calero yesterday, in the match between Levante and Elche, counting for another round of La Liga.

Furthermore, the Spanish press reports that Carlos Álvarez’s move to Benfica is very close to happening, as the Valencian club is already in the market looking for a new solution for that position. The same sources assure that Levante has already found the ideal name, Manuel Ángel, who is part of Real Madrid’s roster.

Last season, wearing Levante’s shirt, Carlos Álvarez—valued at 6 million euros—played 43 matches, totaling 3,424 minutes. In total, the 22-year-old right winger scored seven goals and provided 12 assists, being one of the main figures in the team led by Spanish coach Julián Calero.
