It seems that the destiny of Raúl Jiménez will be far from Atlético de Madrid, as the Portuguese press, through the newspaper A Bola, indicates that the Mexican attacker is one of the most viable options to reinforce Benfica.
In its cover this Wednesday, the Portuguese newspaper dedicated the cover to the Mexican attacker, where they included the legend: "Raúl Jiménez, waiting for Benfica".
It is said that the Eagles of Portugal are looking for the replacement of Rodrigo José Lima dos Santos, who recently moved to Emiratos Árabes Unidos football, so they would like to sign Raúl Jiménez either on loan or permanently.
In response, the Benfica coach, Rui Vitória, was cautious about the rumors of the Portuguese press: "There are players under observation, but it doesn't go beyond that and it doesn't mean if they're going to enter," he said after his team's victory in penalties against América, in a match that was held at the Estadio Azteca, where he added.
"The press every day has different players for Benfica and the thing is to choose one to join the squad. The player who is chosen will be an internal decision, all I can say is that it will be well consensual."
