Benfica is evaluating the possibility of signing a left-back, and 31-year-old Portuguese international Raphaël Guerreiro is one of the players being considered by the professional football structure. The player, who also has French citizenship and has earned 65 caps for Portugal, is liked by the club's management and coach José Mourinho for the experience and immediate performance he could provide. For Guerreiro, a potential transfer could be appealing because of the opportunity to play more regularly and be coached by Mourinho, and he has previously stated that he is a big Benfica supporter.
Although he has been used infrequently at Bayern, with 13 appearances and only four starts, he is still highly regarded by the Bavarian club. His contract expires at the end of the season, but Bayern will be involved in any potential transfer. Transfermarkt estimates the left-back's market value to be €8.00m, and Juventus has also been reported as interested in a potential transfer.
