Portuguese media: Benfica s quotation for Asensio for 11 million euros is enough to convince Paris to release people

July 31 FootMercato quoted the Portuguese media Morning Post, saying that Benfica offered 11 million euros for Asensio in Paris.

Benfica is experiencing an extremely busy summer, and the Portuguese club is determined to make a big move in the transfer market. With Di Maria returning to Rosario, Argentina a few weeks ago, the club must calm the fans' sentiment with heavy signings.

For this reason, the Portuguese Super League giants have officially announced two midfield strong aids, including Argentine Enzo Barrenecea and Colombian Richard Rios, which has excited fans. But the team's forward still needs fresh blood to fill the vacancy left by Di Maria. Benfica originally locked in Joao Felix, but the player turned to join Riyadh to win at the last minute.

The emergency turn Benfica quickly locked in a new target. According to the Portuguese Morning Post and other media, Paris Saint-Germain's abandoned player Marco Asensio became the first choice. The Spanish striker, who was loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of last season, has made it clear that he is not in Enrique's plan. Although Paris has reached an agreement with Fenerbahce on the transfer, the players themselves have little interest in the Turkish League.

At this moment, Benfica took the opportunity to intervene and listed him as the number one target on the front line. Portuguese media also said that the club's management submitted a 11 million euro offer to Paris last night, believing that this number is enough to allow the French Ligue 1 giants to release them. The suspense now lies in Paris’ response and whether the players are more inclined to Portugal’s invitation.
