Benfica approach Carlos Vinicius from PSV loan deal

information in the annual report

After a previously disappointing loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur, Benfica striker Carlos Vinícius rejoined Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven on loan last summer. Like the newspaperEindhoven’s Dagblad“reported, there is now confusion about a possible purchase obligation for the 26-year-old.

The center forward’s contract with Benfica runs until 2024, and the loan to the Dutch first division team is dated until the summer of 2023. The newspaper quoted the Portuguese club’s annual report on Tuesday as saying that the fee to be paid by PSV under the deal struck last summer is €2.5m. In addition, the deal could be terminated unilaterally by PSV as early as next summer.

In addition, Benfica also listed a purchase obligation for Vinícius in the report, according to which the Dutch first division club would have to pay 10 million euros for 50 percent of the transfer rights to the offensive power after the loan expired.

“Although Benfica mentions this in the annual report, conditions apply that in practice PSV do not have to enforce,” says the “Eindhovens Dagblad”. The wording was chosen “probably for accounting reasons” by the Portuguese, but the Eredivisie club is still not assuming a mandatory payment.

In terms of sport, the Brazilian is doing well again in the Netherlands. With five goals and five assists in 16 league games to date, he is one of the top scorers in coach Roger Schmidt’s squad this season.

“I feel well adjusted and integrated into the whole group. Thank God I can also help the team with goals and assists. We have a very qualified team here and we hope to be very successful and achieve our goals,” Vinícius announced recently after the 5-0 away win at Vitesse Arnhem.
