Panathinaikos want Benfica's Miguel Vitor
Greek giants, Panathinaikos, are reportedly on the trail of Benfica defender, Miguel Vitor. The former Leicester City man has found chances hard to come by this term and the Greens are willing to offer him a new start in the Super League.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxi-Pereira-c25004 as the wingbacks they are a true force to be reckoned with.
Arguably the bargain buy of the summer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Garay-c13071, has also seamlessly fitted into the system at the Lisbon outfit and has now formed the backbone of the team that are likely to end up with the title come May.
However with the presence of such players, lesser favoured team-members have had to be content with a place in either low-key matches or a place on the bench. Portuguese International, Miguel http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281, has been one of them and has peripherally been used by
the tactician this term.
Primarily playing as a central defender, the 22-year-old spent the whole of last season on loan at Leicester City, where he managed to notch up 15 appearances as well as three goals. After impressing in his short stint in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, he was recalled to Estadio
da Luz and was expected to feature with skipper, Luisao at the back.
However with the addition of Garay, Vitor has been on the sidelines for most of the time and Greek side, Panathinaikos have taken notice of the situation.
Jesualdo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ferreira-c13712, who has managed Benfica previously is aware of the player’s potential and is willing to cough up the necessary amount to lure him to the Olympic Stadium.
The former Aves man will also relish the prospect of plying his trade week-in, week-out and the attraction of starring in the UEFA Europa League will also be tantalizing. However it remains to be seen whether the Eagles’ are willing to part ways with their
utility man.
A loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the term might be a solution which all the parties could agree upon and with the transfer window opening shortly, a move might materialize earlier than expected.
