Alexander Bah likely to leave Benfica despite St. Gallen start | OneFootball

Alexander Bah started against St. Gallen but Benfica do not expect his future to be at the Estádio da Luz. He remains among Marco Silva’s options for now, having benefited from Amar Dedic’s late arrival after the World Cup.

Benfica intend to negotiate his exit in this summer window. They believe European competitions could provide a shop window to boost the 28-year-old’s value. No formal offer has arrived so far, Record writes.

The club consider themselves prepared for a potential departure, with Amar Dedic, who impressed last season, viewed as the natural successor at right-back. Daniel Banjaqui is progressing at Seixal and is regarded as a major prospect for the role.

His physical history also weighs on the decision. Since joining, Bah has been repeatedly sidelined, missing almost as many matches as he has played.

A serious rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, sustained in February 2025 against Moreirense, kept him out for almost a season. Recurring issues have since limited his ability to build rhythm.

Benfica aim to find a solution that suits all parties during this window. Their stance on the player remains unchanged despite his recent start.
