“Cristante is a young player with great potential,” the 60-year-old tactician commented. “I wish him all the best in the Benfica jersey.
“He needs to settle into his new environment and will be in competition with Andreas Samaris for a place in the side, but I’m sure that Cristante will do well.
“Will he be worth €25m in a couple of years? I don’t know, I’m just focusing on helping him to grow as a footballer.”
