#Benfica #SantosFC will buy 50% of #Argentina Rolleiser says #Globoesporte outbeat #Botafogo @RecordPT

Turnaround in the process of Benjamín Rollheiser. When Botafogo seemed to have everything in place to sign the Argentine striker from Benfica, Santos made a decisive advance and managed, according to Globoesporte, to close the deal. Apparently, Peixe will buy 50% of the player's economic rights - the value of the negotiation is not known. According to the same publication, there was a verbal agreement between Botafogo and Benfica, but the Rio club's delay ended up changing the outcome of the operation. This delay was essentially due to the action of John Textor, owner of the Rio emblem, who reportedly asked that the deal only be closed when he arrived in Florida - the businessman was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With a 20-hour trip in between, Santos anticipated, took advantage of the delays of the locals and closed the deal with Benfica.
