"The 31-year-old is a natural left-back, but quite surprisingly, Vincent Kompany has used him in the attacking number 10 role. He scored the equaliser in the first half and showed his versatility by playing as a right-back in the second half. Raphael Guerreiro situation The 31-year-old has a contract with Bayern Munich until the end of the season, and as a result, speculation has emerged over his future at the club."
"According to a recent report from A Bola, Portuguese club Benfica are looking to sign the left-back/winger in the January transfer window. Guerreiro has openly admitted to being a "big Benfica fan," and this should certainly help him secure a move to the Portuguese club. Jose Mourinho apparently is a big fan of the defender, and he is likely to give him more game time this season than he is currently getting at Bayern."
"Guerreiro has made 13 appearances in all competitions this season, and started in five of them. In the Bundesliga, the win over St. Pauli was only his second start in the league. He has further started in the Champions League vs Pafos FC and Club Brugge. With Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, and Jamal Musiala set to return at some point in the second half of the campaign, Guerreiro may struggle to get regular game time."
Raphael Guerreiro is a versatile 31-year-old who has featured as a left-back, right-back and even in an attacking number 10 role under Vincent Kompany. His Bayern Munich contract runs until the end of the season, prompting transfer speculation ahead of January. Benfica are reported to be interested, and Guerreiro has admitted to being a big Benfica fan. Jose Mourinho is reportedly a fan and could offer more playing time. Guerreiro has made 13 appearances this season with limited starts. Competition from returning players and squad constraints could complicate a winter exit.
