Barcelona has reportedly backed off from pursuing striker Vangelis Pavlidis due to Benfica's steep 100 million euro asking price. The player, who joined Benfica last year for only 18 million euros from AZ Alkmaar, has emerged as a key player, leading the club's title push and showcasing his scoring prowess in both domestic leagues and international fixtures. Other clubs, including Chelsea and several Premier League teams, have also shown interest, but the hefty price and expected wages pose challenges for potential buyers. Benfica is unlikely to part with Pavlidis before their Club World Cup campaign.
While discussing his career, Pavlidis emphasized the evolving nature of football, stating, 'Football has become a business game. Teams are companies. Footballers have also become companies.'
Benfica's star striker Pavlidis has attracted interest from clubs across Europe, including Chelsea and Premier League teams, due to his impressive scoring streak this season.
