O january transfer market begins to approach at wide paces and, this tuesday, the interests of european clubs in players of the portuguese teams begin to emerge.
This time, the topic focuses on Daniel Banjaqui, from Benfica, with an emblem of the German Bundesliga beginning to try to win the lead in the race for the young right side.
It's true, according to the Swiss portal 4-4-2. ch, subsequently confirmed by sport.de, the champion of the world and Europe under-17 by Portugal is in the future plans of Borussia Dortmund, which thus joins the range of clubs interested in the 18-year-old athlete.
The provision of Daniel Banjaqui in front of AC Milan on the first day of the European League's single league phase caught the attention of European sharks, as the Liverpool he'd been on the watch list of the kid who's been betting on Marco Silva's emblem.
In fact, this publication even indicates that there are clubs of various championships with the right defense under eye, with the highlights to be the Tottenham and Brighton, from the Premier League Juventus and AS Rome, of the Italian Serie A Atlético de Madrid and Real Society, La Liga, as well as the RB Leipzig, which besides Borussia Dortmund, joins this set of teams.
Still, the truth is that there are still no reports of concrete talks with Benfica by the young Portuguese sub-21 international talent, and, contrary to what these two publications indicate, Banjaqui has a termination clause valued at around eur 80 million, which must be taken into account at the beginning of the negotiations, since it is the value indicated by the incarnates.
It should be noted that the Arsenal also made a proposal of EUR 30 million, divided into two fractions of EUR 15 million each, one fixed and the other through the achievement of objectives, but it was rejected by those responsible for the eagle emblem.
Also remember that Banjaqui debuted in the main team of Benfica in the eighth finals of the Portuguese Cup last season, in front of Farense, being the first holder on the 19th day of the I Liga, before the Amadora Star, where he even watched Anísio Cabral in the goal that closed the accounts in 4-0 for the incarnates.
This time, with Marco Silva, he took advantage of the injury suffered by Alexander Bah to show himself to the new member of the Club of Light, who has already launched it in three games, including in front of AC Milan for the Europa League, where the right side was quite cohesive at the defensive level.
