[ad_1]
Rio de Janeiro (Best Hindu News): Brazil international striker Pedro Santos could join Benfica ahead of the upcoming European season, according to media reports in the South American country.
Newspaper O Globo said on Thursday that the Portuguese giants see the 26-year-old as an ideal replacement for Goncalo Ramos, who is expected to accept an offer from Paris Saint-Germain.
According to the Xinhua report, it has been said that Benfica are also considering the inclusion of River Plate striker Lucas Beltran.
Pedro has more than four years to run on his Flamengo contract but has reportedly told close friends and family he wants to leave the top Brazilian club.
The 26-year-old has struggled for first-team chances this season and was at the center of controversy last weekend when he was involved in a physical altercation with Flamengo assistant coach Pablo Fernandez. Fernandez was sacked by the club on Sunday.
Pedro has scored 93 goals in 192 appearances for Flamengo since joining the Rio de Janeiro club from Fiorentina in January 2021. The European transfer window is open until 1 September.
