Rui Costa talks about Felix s return to Benfica: It is not feasible at present

June 14th, Benfica Chairman Rui Costa answered questions about Felix's possible return to the team this summer when attending the unveiling ceremony of Benfica Youth Training Academy in the United States.

Rui Costa said: "This question is asked every year. If you can welcome the quality players trained in youth training - players of the level of Felix, all Benfica people will be happy. But two things must be recognized. These players are not free. They have high contracts with the club and involve huge transfer fees. Whether it is transfer fees or salary, the relevant figures are very high, and we must respect this reality. Benfica certainly wants to have all the great players, and Felix is ​​an outstanding player. But There is still a long way to go before actually signing him, and I can't reveal more details. No progress can make me think this is feasible at the moment. "

"We have clear goals in terms of signings. To build a team with Benfica characteristics, but the current focus is on the Club World Cup, which must be our great pride."

Rui Costa also confirmed that the club is in negotiations for renewal with Otamendi: "The negotiations are in progress, and the club hopes to keep Otamendi for at least another year."
