Barcelona and Manchester City 'eyeing move for Benfica defender Ruben Dias despite £87million release clause in his contract'

Barcelona and Manchester City feature prominently on the list of clubs wanting to sign Benfica defender Ruben Dias, according to reports in Portugal.

The 22-year-old has a long-term contract until the summer of 2024 at the Portuguese side, and his current deal reportedly includes an enormous £87million (100million euros) release clause.

However, that has reportedly not put off the Spanish and Premier League giants who are both considering a move for Dias, according to Portuguese outlet Record.
