Al Hilal Bid for Pavlidis Rejected - Benfica Demands High Fee

Al Hilal made a bid for Evangelos Pavlidis from Benfica, but the Portuguese club rejected the offer. Benfica is demanding at least 70 million euros to consider selling the Greek striker, a fee considered too high by Al Hilal, who have withdrawn from the pursuit. Pavlidis was signed by Benfica for 20 million euros and has a release clause of 100 million euros. He has scored 19 league goals and 26 in total this season.
