In spite of recent rumours coming from Portuguese media, Benfica were turned down by Santos on their attempt to sign 25-year old Brazilian centre-back Lucas Verissimo, according to latest TMW rumours. On the other hand, the 1995-born, now represented by Italian firm Playmaker Soccer Agency, might be getting close again to join Serie A indeed. Previously pursued by a bunch of clubs including Lazio, Torino, Sampdoria, and Udinese, Verissimo has just been offered to Atalanta.
