Benfica renew contract with Argentinian winger Cervi

Benfica's Franco Cervi has signed a new long-term contract with the club, keeping him with the Lisbon outfit until 2023.

The 24-year old Argentinian winger, who has played for his country on two occasions, the first of which only came a matter of days ago when he featured in Argentina's 3-0 victory over Guatemala, has been with Benfica since 2016, and the diminutive attacker has been very impressive since his arrival.

With 61 league games, and 5 goals and 14 Primeira Liga assists to his name, Franco Cervi has seen his stock rise since he arrived in Portugal, and will be hoping for further success going forward.
