Surprising suitors have emerged from Europe for Rodrigo Becao, who has fallen out of favor and been sidelined at Fenerbahçe. The notable interest in the Brazilian defender is led by Jose Mourinho.
BENFICA HAS ENTERED THE PICTURE
According to Italian media outlet Tutto Mercato, Benfica's head coach Jose Mourinho wants to add Rodrigo Becao, who has been sidelined at Fenerbahçe, to his squad. It has been stated that Mourinho, who is looking for alternatives for the defense line at the Portuguese club, plans to evaluate Becao in a broad rotation.
OTAMENDI DETAIL AFFECTED PLANS
The report mentioned that the possibility of 37-year-old Nicolas Otamendi, who plays for Benfica, retiring at the end of the season and the fact that there are only three center-backs in the current squad have influenced Mourinho's positive stance on the Becao transfer.
ALSO BEING MONITORED FROM SERIE A
In addition to Benfica, it has been noted that there is interest in Rodrigo Becao from Italy. The Brazilian defender, who previously played for Udinese, is being closely monitored by Serie A teams Fiorentina and Genoa. A notable detail is that Becao's former teammate Edin Dzeko plays for Fiorentina.
FENERBAHÇE PERFORMANCE
The 29-year-old Rodrigo Becao has played in 38 official matches for Fenerbahçe, the team he transferred to in the 2023-2024 season, contributing with 2 goals and 1 assist. However, this season, he has only been able to play 6 minutes in one match for the yellow-navy team. It is reported that Becao's current market value is 4.5 million euros.
