Vangelis Pavlidis draws €40‑50 million interest from FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona have placed the 27‑year‑old Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis on their transfer list, with Spanish reports estimating a fee of €40‑50 million. Pavlidis, who signed a five‑year contract with Primeira Liga side S.L. Benfica in July 2024, has impressed with 30 goals in 53 appearances across all competitions, including a hat‑trick against Barcelona in a recent league match.

Benfica have not ruled out a sale but are seeking the stated price range. The player, whose contract runs until the summer of 2029, is seen as a potential replacement for the departing Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona, while the club also continues to evaluate other options such as Huulian Alvarés.
