Rodrigo wants to stay at Benfica, says agent
Spanish International, Rodrigo, is reportedly keen to stay with Benfica and sign a new deal to extend his future with the Reds. The striker has been one of the club’s most in-form players this term and despite interest from Real Madrid wants to stay in Lisbon
according to his agent.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Machado-c23008, 20, has been one of the undoubted highlights of Benfica’s season. The Eagles are in imperious form and are currently flying high on top of the Primeira Liga table as well as securing their progression to the knock-out stages of the
UEFA Champions League.
However some of the credit has been due to the youngster, who has made such an impact that he has dislodged http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo for a place in the starting line-up. Scoring 6 times in only 15 outings for his employers, the former Bolton Wanderers has been quite
a hit at Estadio da Luz.
His talents have also been recognized on the International stage and he is a regular feature in the Spanish youth teams. With his goal-scoring prowess confirming his status as a top player, many sides have an expressed in luring the La Roja starlet.
Bolton wanted to retain his services on loan during the start of the campaign; however http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus refused to let the player leave and has been reaping the benefits of his decision. Now, however, Real Madrid have come knocking but surprisingly neither the
player nor the club are willing to part with each other.
It is reported that Benfica will be offering their talented attacker a new deal at the end of this term and will be looking to secure his future on a long-term basis.
Rodrigo’s agent also commented on the situation and said that his client was happy in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and if the Whites wanted to acquire him, they would have to deal directly with the Eagles.
"Rodrigo has three and a half year contract with Benfica and now only thinks about the club. If Real Madrid want Rodrigo back, then it means that he is doing a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, but the reality is that I have no information on the subject of Madrid.”
“If they want to hire Rodrigo then they need to speak with Benfica and discuss the transfer fee,” http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adalberto-c3511 Machado was quoted as saying.
With the transfer window approaching fast, Real Madrid are likely to step up their interest but it remains to be seen whether they can strike a deal with their Portuguese counterparts.
