Benfica interested in Mexico international Antuna - sources

After a standout summer with the Mexico national team and important contributions with the LA Galaxy in MLS, Uriel Antuna is drawing interest from Benfica.

The Lisboa club would pay Manchester City, Antuna's parent club with which he recently re-signed until 2022 so as not to lose a potential future star, to acquire the winger outright after a number of loan stints.

Antuna's loan with the Galaxy is set to expire in December, leaving the 22-year-old's future in City's hands.

Sources also tell Goal that the Santos Laguna product has adapted well to life away from the field in Los Angeles, and would like for directors from City and the Galaxy to work together on another loan deal with the player already feeling comfortable in MLS.
