Benfica and Varzim sign a deal


Portuguese champions Benfica have signed a protocol with Varzim, this financial deal will give Benfica first rights over any player that Varzim has.

This deal will come in handy when Benfica tries to sign the cousin of Fabio Coentrao, Varzim starting left back, Rui Coentrao.
Rui Coentrao plays in a very similar way to his cousin, Rui also began playing as a left winger before being placed at left back, but they both share other similarities.
Both are from Vila do Conde, and they both began their soccer careers at Rio Ave.
Rui Coentrao left Vila do Conde for Lisboa just like his cousin, but Rui joined Sporting at a young age. He was later dismissed by Sporting, and decided to join the arch rivals of Rio Ave, Varzim.
He is already a member of the Portuguese Under 19 team, and I have no doubt that in the near future, he will be playing in the Selecao.

Rui Coentrao is one to keep an eye on.......
