Glorioso 1904 exclusive: Harry Wilson still linked to Benfica, bad news | OneFootball

There are rumors pointing to Harry Wilson as a possible Benfica signing, but the player will not be heading to the Luz, as Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, we reveal the reasons why the Fulham winger is not in a position to wear the sacred shirt in 2026/27.

The Luz club needs to strengthen the flanks, but the Eagles’ hierarchy is looking for a different kind of profile. A quick winger, strong in one-on-one duels, who contributes goals and is young — Harry Wilson is already 29, an age bracket that does not particularly appeal to Benfica’s decision-makers.

Given that he plays in the Premier League, the Wales forward earns a salary that is far too high for the reality of Portuguese football, and there are English clubs keeping an eye on the player, teams with greater financial power than Benfica.

In addition to the aim of strengthening the wide attacking areas, Benfica has made the signing of at least two centre-backs a priority. Failing to qualify for the Champions League has led the club in red to think about managing its budget cautiously and precisely.
