– They are players that you can’t hide, it’s public. Players that Crespo asked for. Neves is a midfielder. Crespo wants a midfielder, a guy who knows how to play, not just a scorer. As he plays with three defenders, the defensive midfielder has to know how to play. Neves is one of them and is under negotiation. It is not easy, because the financial part is always on the way – stated Muricy in live to the channel “Arnaldo e Tirone”.

– Benítez likewise, has a pending in Vasco, a small thing that ends in July. With Benítez, he has the proposal, the agreement, and now it is in his hands. Vasco has a contract until June. He’s asking for release, I don’t know, ”he added.

In the case of Benítez, there is an impasse in relation to values. In January, Vasco paid US $ 250,000 (about R $ 1.4 million) to Independiente to have the midfielder until June 30th.
–
In the contract, however, it is foreseen that the Argentine club can sell it from March 1st and that, in this case, Vasco could match the offer or keep 15% of the transaction. If you chose to buy it, the amount would be discounted. In other words, it would pay US $ 3.75 million for 60%, in 18 months.
–
São Paulo would like to have Benítez on loan by the end of this season and is negotiating with the clubs to close the deal.
