Stije Resink Approaches Transfer to Benfica

Stije Resink appears poised to make a transfer during this window. The 22-year-old captain of FC Groningen is reportedly nearing a personal agreement with the Portuguese top club Benfica, according to Voetbal International. The Portuguese club will now need to negotiate terms with Groningen to finalize the transfer.

The magazine indicates that Benfica has a strong position to secure Stije Resink’s services. The midfielder is close to finalizing personal terms with the Portuguese giants. Earlier reports revealed that Resink had been in discussions with Benfica. It is said that he had a video call with José Mourinho, who left a positive impression on the coveted captain, during which they discussed the personal conditions of the potential move.

In addition to Benfica, the midfielder is also attracting interest from top Dutch clubs, although they may be missing out on this opportunity. Ajax, in particular, has expressed a strong desire to acquire Resink. The native of Amsterdam is seen as a priority target for the upcoming summer, especially as he could be obtained at a lower cost then. After this season, a release clause of six million euros will become active in Resink’s Groningen contract. Both Feyenoord and PSV are also monitoring the midfielder closely.
