A week ago it was announced that Benfica will be playing this winter wants to work on the arrival of Resink. The FC Groningen captain played an impressive first half of the season, which meant that he was already associated with the traditional top three of the Netherlands this winter.

“The Resink case ended abruptly and in complete chaos,” Tavolieri wrote later in the day. Although Van Mosselveld always indicated to the outside world that the midfielder is not allowed to leave, FC Groningen is said to have indicated behind the scenes that they were open to a transfer with a good offer. However, within the club management of the northerners there was no agreement about this.
Ultimately, FC Groningen came to the conclusion that it did not want to sell Resink, after which Van Mosselveld informed Benfica. The Portuguese reacted furiously and immediately stopped the hunt for the FC Groningen captain. “The Portuguese club believes that it is impossible to enter into negotiations, while the general manager says one thing and the board says another.” According to Tavolieri, Benfica accuses FC Groningen of using the interest to put Resink in the spotlight, but never intending to sell him.
