Bruno Varela knows nothing of an alleged Ajax decision about not disclosing the option to buy in the lease with Benfica. Earlier, Portuguese media reported that the Amsterdammers waive the purchase option of five to six million euros for the second goalkeeper, who is rented from Benfica for the second year in a row.
“Then the papers know more than I do,” Varela laughs in conversation with A Bola. “I am not aware of anything. Last season they said ‘no’ on the day of the deadline because they did not yet want to answer. Then they still talked to Benfica. There is no final answer. Everything can change , just like last year. I don’t know anything yet, but I will hear when the time is right. “
Varela himself likes to stay with Ajax, although he will be just as happy with a return to Benfica. “I want the best option. If Ajax buys me, I’m happy. If I return to Benfica, I’ll be happy too. If I have to play somewhere else to fight for my spot, I’m happy too. no worries, “said Varela. “It is up to my agents, Ajax and Benfica to resolve this situation.”
