Turkish Reports Claim €20M Bid for Pavlidis, Benfica Unmoved

Besiktas and Benfica are set to cross paths once again, and this time, all eyes are on Vangelis Pavlidis, the Greek striker for the Eagles.

The Turkish publication, Turkiy Gazetesi, has reported a €20 million offer, plus bonuses, for the prolific goalscorer. However, information obtained by A BOLA suggests that such a figure would not even be considered by the Lisbon giants.

While Pavlidis is not officially on the market, he's not entirely untouchable; it all comes down to the numbers. Benfica, however, is holding firm, demanding a minimum of €50 million for the Greek international. This stance is reinforced by the fact that last summer, according to Nuno Catarino, Benfica SAD's CFO, the club rejected an offer exceeding €50 million for the forward.
