Benfica looking to sign Mexican International http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-Torres-Nilo-c19223
Portuguese giants, Benfica, are reportedly looking to sign Mexican left-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Torres Nilo, in the upcoming transfer window. The 23-year-old has been a mainstay of the El Tricolour backline for the past few years now and the Estadio da Luz coaches think
of him as the ideal man to bolster their defence.
Although one of the toughest teams to beat in Liga Sagres, Jorge Jesus’ Benfica have been suffering from a persistent left-back problem throughout the season.
During the summer, the club chose to part ways with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao and the Seleccao International’s departure has left a gaping hole at the back, which is yet to be fully plugged.
The Reds acquired the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emerson-c12442 in a bid to replace Coentrao, however the duo have failed to match the high standards of the Real Madrid star.
While Emerson can be credited as a decent signing with good potential, Capdevila has failed to make his mark at the Stadium of Light. Not only has the Spanish International primarily featured on the sidelines but now is allegedly on his way out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984.
If the veteran is indeed sold in the winter, it would leave Emerson as the only natural left-back in the first team squad and with Benfica competing on several fronts including the prestigious UEFA Champions League, that’s a risk which they can’t afford
to take.
Several wingbacks have been linked with the Eagles but now it is thought that the Lisbon outfit have set their sights on Mexican International, Jorge Torres Nilo, who plies his trade for Tigres de la UANL in the Primera Division.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 now believe that he is ready to make the switch to Europe, where a number of sides are thought to be tracking his progress.
Amongst the clubs associated with the player, Spanish La Liga side Sevilla is thought to be the biggest but given that Benfica’s need is greater, they may be forced to cough up big-money for Jorge Torres.
As the transfer window looms large, the race to sign the next Mexican star will heat up and it remains to be seen who comes out on top.
