Marinakis Under Pressure, But Not Yielding on André Luís

The André Luís saga appears to be ongoing. According to Record, his representatives traveled from England to Vila do Conde to watch the Rio Ave – Benfica match, hoping to unlock a deal.

The financial aspect remains the main obstacle. Rio Ave seems to be insisting on a release clause of €20 million, an amount Benfica considers excessive. However, reports in Portugal suggest the player is keen to move to Lisbon and join the team's new project.

André Luís is expected to play in the match, with Sotiris Silaidopoulos keeping a low profile publicly, leaving all options open. Negotiations will determine the next step, as the player is pushing for the move, but the final decision rests with Marinakis and the asking price.
