Monza sets price of €30‑35 million for Varela and still wants to keep him

While Monza insists on keeping Gustavo Varela until the January winter transfer window, the club has already set his price between 30 and 35 million euros, creating tension between the desire to hold onto the striker and the possibility of a sale.

Varela, 21 years old, has been one of the most talked‑about names in European football and attracts the interest of the so‑called “sharks”. He tops the Serie A scoring chart while playing for Monza.

According to Nicolò Schira, Monza intends to keep him in the squad until the end of the season, but a bid within the established range could pave the way for his departure. The same source said the club is willing to negotiate if the offer reaches 30 to 35 million euros.

After leaving Benfica for 2.5 million euros plus a 1 million euro bonus, Varela has already tallied 11 goals and one assist in 11 games for Monza. The striker was called up for the first time to the National Team recently.
