Benfica midfielder gains strength in Turkey
Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim has already contacted Rui Costa with the aim of having Gedson Fernandes as of January, according to Turkish radio station ‘Radyospor’. The coach has a good relationship with the president of Benfica, not least because he guided the ‘Maestro’ at Fiorentina and Milan. The Istanbul club wants a six-month loan and a purchase option. The interest is old, and Galatasaray intended to have the Portuguese international, 22 years old, already in the winter market.
On the sidelines of negotiations, the 83 shirt should start for the first time this season. Meité could be the other bet for midfield, as Jorge Jesus anticipated. “In strategic terms, the players who have now arrived at Benfica have more difficulty in getting to know our ideas. These matches are fundamental. As he didn’t go to his country’s team [França], had more time to work. This factor gives them an advantage to be able to play against Trofense”, he explained.
