Man City tipped to sign 23 y/o colossus, spending €100m “would not be a problem” – Report

According to a report from the paper edition of Record via Sport Witness, given normal circumstances, spending €100 million (£89 million) to sign Benfica defender Ruben Dias ‘would not be a problem‘ – but a global pandemic has seemingly postponed City’s plans to snap up the 23-year-old colossus.

Dias, starting 24 league games for Benfica this season, has been a crucial figure in Aguias’ bid to challenge rivals FC Porto for the Portuguese title – winning an impressive 85.24% of his aerial duels when inside his own defensive third.
