Glorioso 1904 exclusively revealed that José María Giménez is not among Benfica's targets to strengthen the defensive line. Despite the rumors that emerged in Spain, there are no ongoing negotiations between the águias and Atlético de Madrid for the Uruguayan defender.
The encarnada structure did not show interest in pursuing the defender and does not even intend to open negotiations with the Spanish club. Giménez's name is therefore not among Benfica's options for the defensive sector.
One of the main obstacles to a possible operation is related to the player's contract situation. José María Giménez has a contract with Atlético de Madrid until 2028 and earns a salary considered too high for the encarnada reality. Given these conditions, Benfica does not consider moving for the Uruguayan international.
Despite the rumors placing the 31-year-old defender on the águias' radar, there is no concrete movement from the club from Luz to sign the Uruguayan.
