Douglas' agent in Barcelona to push through Benfica move
Marcos Casseb was at the training ground to close the deal
Benfica want him but there are still some doubts about the transfer
Douglas' departure from Barcelona could become official soon. One of the Brazilian's agents, Marcos Casseb, is in Barcelona trying to finalise a move away from the club.
For several days now it has been known that Benfica are keen on the right-back. The Portuguese club have lined up the Brazilian to replace Nelson Semedo, who joined Barça last month.
However, there are still details to be resolved. In Portugal there are reports that the player's salary, around 2 million euros net, is not something Benfica could pay.
In addition, the cost of a transfer, around five million euros, needs to be reduced.
The good relations between the two clubs should enable things to be pushed through, though, with Douglas one of the players Ernesto Valverde does not count on.
