According to the Portuguese publication 'A Bola', Juventus is monitoring 27-year-old forward Vangelis Pavlidis, and the report specified this was transfer interest rather than an official proposal. Benfica's economic vice president and financial director, Nuno Catarino, revealed that the club rejected an offer for Vangelis Pavlidis exceeding 50,000,000 euros in the summer of 2025. There was also interest this summer, but an agreement for his departure was not reached. Marco Silva expressed a desire to keep Pavlidis in the team and recognized his importance to Benfica's attacking function.

The Daily Briefing has reported that, according to figures in the industry, Juventus are showing interest in Vangelis Pavlidis. The same source indicates there is little suggestion that a January deal will be possible, as Benfica do not want to sell in the middle of the season. Any interested clubs will likely have to wait until next summer to enter serious negotiations to try to bring the fee down.

According to A Bola's update on Vangelis Pavlidis's transfer situation, he was subject to approaches from several clubs in the summer and was of interest to clubs such as Juventus. Besiktas attempted a transfer. In previous windows, transfers for Pavlidis from Premier League clubs were considered close to happening. The player has always maintained a professional attitude, admitting that he dreams of a move to a more prominent club and has a preference for English football as a career ambition. He clarified that he would not leave without Benfica's agreement in a deal that would be beneficial to both parties. New attempts for a transfer of Vangelis Pavlidis can be anticipated in January. His contract runs until 2029 and includes a release clause of 100 million euros.

According to A Bola, Juventus, a club from Italy, is interested in Vangelis Pavlidis. However, the €40 million that Benfica was willing to negotiate for the transfer deterred the Italians.
