Leicester interested in bringing João Rego to England
The English club has already made inquiries to sign a young talent who is not on Bruno Lage's radar.
João Rego is on Leicester's target list, a team that will play in the second tier of English football. According to what has been gathered, there have already been inquiries with the Reds to understand the conditions that could secure the young talent on loan. For now, there's no sign of a deal, although the 20-year-old isn't expected to be in Bruno Lage's plans for the start of the season.
Leicester, coached by Martí Cifuentes, believes João Rego possesses the attributes needed to play as a number 10 or as a second striker. Therefore, the club has already informed the club's officials that it is willing to take the player to England, where he could join the squad that already includes Portuguese player Ricardo Pereira
According to what was possible to ascertain, it would be a loan with an option to buy, but, for now, Benfica SAD has not yet given the green light for the transfer. This, despite João Rego not being included in the squad for the Eagles' first three official matches this season. The youngster has not been playing minutes or a place on the Eagles' bench, but it should be noted that Benfica's management intends to renew the player's contract and include a €100 million release clause. There is also currently no agreement between the parties in this process.
