Among the players who left PSG this summer, Juan Bernat has not had success with Benfica. On loan, will the left side return this winter? His agent answered the question.
Arriving at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2018 from Bayern Munich, Juan Bernat quickly established himself as an indisputable starter in his left lane. But a rupture of the cruciate ligaments in his left knee that occurred one evening in September 2020 broke his momentum. Returning to competition more than a year later, the player has not regained his status, notably due to the arrival of Nuno Mendes. In the summer of 2023, the recruitment of Lucas Hernandez made Bernat aware that he no longer had his place at PSG, enough to push him to accept a loan offer from Benfica. But the experience doesn’t go as well as expected.
Since arriving at the Lisbon club, Juan Bernat has taken part in six matches in all competitions. Injured time and no longer used by his coach since October 31, the defender was starting to find the time long, according to some reports. But these were denied by Vicente Fores. According to comments from the agent relayed on Wednesday by Record, Juan Bernat remains very happy with his Portuguese experience and the rumors are unfounded. “ This is totally false. Juan feels very good at Benfica.“
Not used
Returning to training at the end of November, the now thirty-year-old man was not called up by his coach during his team’s last four matches. Will he return to PSG this winter, perhaps to go elsewhere, despite the denials of his representative?
