Domingos Soares Oliveira insists on stealing key piece from Benfica to Marco Silva

Al Ittihad, whose CEO is Domingos Soares Oliveira, made a formal offer to Benfica for Luxembourgish midfielder Leandro Barreiro. The Saudi club intends to count on the player for their team managed by Jens Wissing. Leandro Barreiro arrived at Benfica during Roger Schmidt's spell at the Luz, exactly when Wissing was the German coach's assistant. Jens Wissing knows the Luxembourg international well and wants to work with the midfielder again, having conveyed Al Ittihad's interest to the red's board through a formal offer. Leandro Barreiro has been one of Marco Silva's regular choices this season and has earned an important place in Benfica's midfield. The priority of the SAD is, at this moment, to find a solution for Richard Ríos, who has lost space in the coach's options, although no concrete offers have yet arrived for the Colombian.
