Argentine striker Rollheiser is confident of a move to Benfica, but does not forget the fans of his former club. “To the people of Estudiantes, thank you for your love and respect over these one and a half years. That’s why I’m happy. I say hello to everyone,” the striker told Argentine television TyC Sports at the airport on his way to Portugal in the company of Rui Pedro Braz, the Eagles director.
The 23-year-old Argentine will join Benfica in exchange for around €10 million for 90%, with Estudiantes retaining the remaining 10%. This signing was planned for the summer to cover the departures of Rafa and Di Maria (both at the end of their contracts), but the Red club decided to postpone the deal.
Rollheiser will be the fourth addition following the arrival of Marcos Leonardo, Alvaro Carreras and Prestianni (to be unveiled at the end of the month). With the arrival of the Argentinean Gonçalo Guedes was closer to the exit. Among those interested are Villarreal and Arab clubs. The pass belongs to Wolverhampton, which agrees to transfer the player in exchange for payment of a salary. Musa was also considered for release, but Schmidt promises to give him more minutes.
