The two Milan rivals, Inter and AC Milan, are competing fiercely on the transfer market to secure the services of a promising young goalkeeper playing in Brazil. This is Bento, only 24 years old and playing for Athletico Paranaense.
Considered the future of the goalkeeper position in his team, Bento has attracted the attention of recruiters from the two Lombard giants. Inter is actively looking to take over from Yann Sommer, who will celebrate his 35th birthday next December. Despite the recent arrival of Emil Eudoro on loan, the Nerazzurri want to secure their succession to the position in the years to come. Bento perfectly matches the desired profile.

However, recruiting the Brazilian promises to be complicated. His club is demanding no less than 60 million euros to lift his release clause, which runs until 2026. Agreeing on such a sum is not within everyone’s reach. Inter will have to demonstrate persuasion and convincing financial arguments to win the bet.
But the Milanese neighbor does not intend to leave the field open to its rivals. AC Milan is also carefully observing Bento’s situation. The possible departure of Mike Maignan during the summer transfer window encourages the Rossoneri to anticipate possible needs at the goalkeeper position. The Brazilian also ticks the boxes sought by the Lombard club.
