Marcel Reguła, the young attacking midfielder for Zagłębie Lubin, was a target for Portuguese club Benfica, but his transfer to Lisbon is most likely not going to happen. The Copper Miners are reportedly seeking around ten million euros for their rising star, a sum deemed too high for "the Eagles."
The 19-year-old Reguła has been one of the revelations of the current PKO BP Ekstraklasa season. He has appeared in 28 matches across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. His promising performances have attracted the attention of numerous foreign clubs.
Benfica, one of Europe's giants, had been monitoring the situation of the Zagłębie Lubin academy product. However, as reported by Szymon Janczyk of "Weszlo.com," the Lisbon club's management is unwilling to spend the aforementioned amount on Marcel Reguła. Zagłębie Lubin's high financial expectations have become an obstacle to this potential transfer.
Despite the unsuccessful negotiations with Benfica, this does not mean that Marcel Reguła will remain at Zagłębie Lubin for another season. The talented teenager has been preparing for a move abroad for a long time, and several other European clubs have expressed interest in him.
The transfer saga surrounding Marcel Reguła from Zagłębie Lubin will undoubtedly continue into the summer transfer window. The Copper Miners are aware of their player's value and do not intend to lower their asking price, hoping that other clubs will meet their financial expectations.
