Pablo Bentancur stated that they have two interesting Uruguayan talents, one who plays in Brazil and the other in Mexico, and that the idea is to try to propose them in Italy because players who arrive from that country usually have shorter adaptation times. Pablo Bentancur named 22-year-old Fluminense midfielder Facundo Bernal as one of the two players. Bernal, who has one cap for Uruguay, joined the Brazilian club on 03/08/2024 and is under contract until 31/07/2028. He has a current Transfermarkt market value of €6.00m. This season, he has made four appearances in the Série A and four in the Campeonato Carioca, providing two assists in the latter.
