An earlier denial no longer counts: a later, dated report from another source overtook it. It stays in the table below.
Score capped at 30: a single source is a lead, not a signal
What we know
Vangelis Pavlidis is linked to a move to AS Roma, with Serie A giants Juventus, AC Milan and Roma all mentioned by TEAMtalk on 13 Oct.
The first report appeared on 7 Oct, when beIN Sports said Benfica had ruled out a departure, noting Marco Silva’s priority status for the player. No later denial has been published, so the earlier beIN statement is overtaken by the newer interest claims.
The only explicit caveat is that beIN’s 7 Oct denial was overtaken; no source says a formal offer has yet been made.
Key findings
- First report: 13 Oct 2026, TEAMtalk.
- 1 independent source behind it (TEAMtalk); 0 other outlets only repeat earlier reporting.
- No Tier 1-2 source stands behind it, so the score is capped at 30.
- Deal stage reached by a counted source: interest.
- No second independent source corroborates it.
- Earlier denial by beIN Sports (7 Oct 2026) was overtaken by later reporting.
- Latest evidence: 21 days ago.
