Jorge Jesús, Benfica coach, insists on taking over the services of Betic midfielder William Carvalho to reinforce the Lisbon team, which this August will have to play the third qualifying round to be able to access the group stage of the Champions League – for which his great rivals, Sporting and Porto, are already classified, so he is looking for reinforcements that can be quickly integrated into the team.
Jorge Jesús already had William Carvalho at his command during his time as coach of Sporting Lisbon and in the last winter market he tried to get his services, but the transfer with an option to buy that he proposed to Real Betis did not convince the Betis leaders, who want to recover the 16 million euros (plus 4 in variables) that they paid three years ago for 75% of the pass.
'El Correo de Manha' is the one who reveals this Wednesday that Benfica will return to the charge for William Carvalho at the express indication of Jorge Jesús, since the signing of Libyan midfielder Al Musrtai (Sporting de Braga) has not just come to fruition, so That the Real Betis player, to whom the Verdiblanco club intends to transfer if an acceptable offer arrives for their services that has not been received so far, comes back.
