Benfica will be the next destination of Renan Lodi

Renan Lodi's future is far from the Cívitas Metropolitano. According to information from Relevo, the relationship between the Brazilian full-back and Simeone is broken and, once the 30 million euros purchase option held by Nottingham Forest expired, Atlético de Madrid put him back on the market.

The option that is gaining more strength is that Lodi ends up joining Benfica. The Lisbon giants consider the Brazilian to be the ideal player to cover Grimaldo's departure on the left flank, and both parties have started negotiations for the transfer to come to fruition.

Lodi, for his part, would be happy to start a new adventure in Lisbon. Unlike Nottingham Forest, Benfica will be in the next edition of the Champions League. A prerequisite in the final decision of the Brazilian, who ruled out the English team for being out of Europe.
