Benfica ponder Morato Premier League interest

Portuguese giants weigh up offer

Morato could join exodus of top talent this summer

Benfica are considering a proposal from an unnamed Premier League club for defender Morato, according to reports in Portugal.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to England for some time, and it now appears that a formal offer has been made.

Morato is a highly-rated centre-back, and he has been a key player for Benfica this season. He has made 30 appearances in all competitions, and he has helped the club to win the Primeira Liga title.

However, Benfica are in need of funds, and they may be willing to sell Morato if they receive a suitable offer.

The Premier League club that has made the offer is not known, but it is believed to be one of the top clubs in the division.

If Morato does move to the Premier League, he will join a number of other top Portuguese players who have made the switch to England in recent years, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Bernardo Silva.
