Benfica intends to take Cabrera from Espanyol

“Jesus wants Leandro Cabrera“He titled‘ A Bola ’. “Cabrera is the target for defense“Highlights” Record. ” The two main sports newspapers in Portugal coincide in unison this Wednesday with their covers, titling in full color and with a giant body on Benfica's interest in central Espanyol.

According to this information, It has been Jorge Jesus, the legendary Lisbon coach who has just returned to the club of 'the eagles' after closing his stage at Flamengo, who has asked the leadership to sign Cabrera, knowing that Espanyol's descent will greatly complicate its continuity. ‘Record’ also points out that from the RCDE Stadium they would have asked for 15 million for the sale, an amount that seems quite realistic.

Espanyol invested nine million, the full amount of its clause, just seven months ago. However, in Second it will not be able to take charge of the entirety of its file. And a sale for 15 million not only would it return the outlay, but it would provide a slight benefit. Not in vain, Cabrera could also leave on loan, because a clause in their contract so stipulates, if any club of a higher category takes charge of its emoluments.

Jesus is an old admirer of Cabrera, whom He already tried to sign when he was a coach at Flamengo, just 12 months ago, in July 2019. The interest was admitted by the Uruguayan player himself when in October he was asked about it while still a Getafe footballer. “There were conversations, but luckily it hasn't happened“He sentenced.
