According to a local Portuguese newspaper report on Saturday, Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentranken returned to Benfica this summer. Coentrand can greatly strengthen the Lisbon side's left-back position with only one obstacle – his high salary.
His current salary is 2.5 million euros, which is too high for the Portuguese team. Portuguese media reported that the team's top brass has determined the player's own wishes: to leave Madrid and return to Lisbon. For the transfer to come true, it will depend on the friendship of his agent Mendes and president Benfica. However, Benfica's top brass had great confidence in Mendes, believing that he could move Florentino to share a portion of Coentrand's salary so that he could return.
Coentrand has said before: "I want to clear up the rumors that I'm going to return to Sporting Lisbon. I have a lot of respect for the Portuguese club, but if I come back to Portugal, I will only play for Benfica. ”
