Benfica is interested in Aridane

The good season of the canary Aridane Hernandez has caught the attention of one of the strongest teams in Europe. According to the Portuguese press, Benfica is very interested in taking the Osasuna center back next summer.

The signing of Aridane by the Lisbon club would be an express request of the Benfica coach Jorge Jesús who has 'fallen in love' with the performance of the player from the rojillo team. Direct sources of the club consulted by AS have not been surprised by the news, but they are clear that if they want it they will have to pay the termination clause that amounts to 12 million euros.

Aridane is a fundamental piece in the defensive framework of Jagoba Arrasate. The center-back has a contract until 2023 with the Rojilla entity, which he brought in from Cádiz in 2017, in exchange for € 2M. He has worn the Osasuna shirt 105 times and has scored four goals. At 32 years old, Aridane would be faced with the opportunity to play in a league other than the Spanish one.
