After letting go of Gustavo Hammer and Victor Goqueres in the summer, the Sky Blues began rebuilding their squad with the aim of further promotion.
Fluid Logo After a poor start to the season, an impressive run saw them finish 6th in the championship table.
Their spending was not limited to the summer, with midfielder Victor Torp arriving this month to replace the long-term Hammer.
Now, Alan Nixon says Coventry City have their sights set on an ambitious new signing.
He writes on his Patreon that the Sky Blues have made an offer for 23-year-old Argentine winger Benjamin Rolheiser.
They offered him a £9m contract, including a £6.
5m upfront payment and £2.
5m upon promotion to the Premier League.
However, Benfica had previously made a better offer and now announced the deal.
Coventry City’s lofty goals Coventry City have made some eye-catching signings this season, but the move from Rolheiser is significant evidence of their ambitions.
They may have overlooked something, but the fact that they took action shows how high their goals are.
The winger remained in and around River Plate’s first team without attracting much attention before moving to Estudiantes in 2022.
Last season, he proved to be an outstanding player for his home country, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists in 57 games, impressing in domestic competitions and against other South American teams in the Copa Sudamericana.
The fact that Rolheiser has moved to Benfica should be a good indicator of his talent and potential.
The Portuguese team is highly regarded for its talent acquisition and player development.
The fact that Coventry City wanted to compete with them for the winger shows fans what a coup he would be for the Championship club.
