Milan, Inter and Juve will all be present at the Benfica-Sporting game: the objectives
FROM LINDELOF TO SEMEDO, THE BENFICA TALENTS - Rui Vitoria's club are currently first in the Portuguese Liga as they have a very solid backline. They have only conceded seven goals so far this season which is impressive. One player who has attracted the interest of many big clubs is Victor Lindelof (born in 1994) who Inter and Juventus love. He has a release clause that is slightly superior to 30 million euros. He isn't the only one as Nelson Semedo (wingback, born in 1993) has also attracted many big clubs interest, especially Inter Milan. Finally, upfront Goncalo Guedes has been quite surprising as he has been replacing the injured Jonas.
SPORTING'S TALENTS, IT'S NOT ONLY WILLIAM CARVALHO - Sporting Lisbon are only two points back from Benfica as they hope to leapfrog them tonight with a win. William Carvalho (born in 1994) is obviously the main name as Milan like him a lot. He will cost a lot and without the final closing, he will likely be too expensive for Milan in January. Another very interesting youngster is Gelson Martins ( born in 1995) as Milan and Inter have been tracking him closely. His agent keeps talking of a possible departure, but there aren't any concrete offers yet. Matheus Pereira (born in 1996) won't start in tonight's game but he has been hot of late as he has 4 goals and 3 assists in 8 games so far this season.
Both Benfica and Sporting are jammed packed with bright young talents as many big clubs (including Italy's big 3) will be present tonight.
