According to Tuttomercato, a Piedmontese club opted not to pay a buyout of approximately nine million euros for a player from Benfica, because they considered the fee excessive. The club intends to renegotiate the deal with Benfica to lower the price or to secure another loan. This move is reportedly receiving favourable support from the Portuguese club, which has no intention of keeping the player born in 2004 and has excluded him from the training camp. The Spanish winger is also said to be in favour of a return, as he was happy in Turin and would immediately accept a second period with the Granata. A financial commitment from Cairo will still be needed to convince the Portuguese club, and negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks.
