O Goiás is searching for a left end and 21-year-old Romeo Benítez appears as one of the main targets. The ex-Guarani/PAR, currently in Athletico-PR, aroused the interest of Verdam, who has already started conversations with the player and Hurricane.
However, the negotiations did not continue, the main difficulty lies in the lack of a financial agreement between the parties. Athletico agreed to lend the attacker, since Cuca does not see it as a key piece for the starting team, but the figures did not meet the spective.
Romeo Benitez before the Athletic
Benítez stood out in the Paraguayan scenario in 2023, with 41 games, 8 goals and 6 assists by Guarani. This performance attracted the attention of Athletico, who definitely bought it with a contract by the end of 2028. The player was one of the five most expensive hires in the history of Athletico.
Hired at the end of 2023, along with quarterback Mateo Gamarra, the current shirt 11 cost R$ 14.5 million, just staying behind Vitor Roque (R)$ 24 million), Zapelli (R$ 19.3 million), Gamarra (R)$ 17.3 million) and Canobbio (R$ 15.2 million). The Paraguayan has a bond with the Red Black until 2028.
