Sérgio Krithinas has no doubts: Kaminski completes Benfica's market 1.0 | OneFootball

Benfica are very close to securing the signing of Jakub Kaminski, a reinforcement expected to fill the left-wing position and one that matches one of the priorities defined by the structure led by Rui Costa for this summer transfer window. With the arrival of the Polish international virtually guaranteed, Sérgio Krithinas believes that the Eagles are fulfilling the main objectives set for the start of the season.

"He is clearly a player Benfica were lacking; at the very least, it was a position where Benfica were short. The signing of Kaminski closes Benfica’s market 1.0. The identified need to have a centre-back and a winger before the initial start of the season has been met, and now there will be a market that will be shaped by departures," he said.

According to Sérgio Krithinas, Benfica SAD’s strategy will now be to assess the market according to possible sales. In that sense, Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Ríos appear to be the players most likely to leave the Estádio da Luz in the coming weeks. The journalist believes, however, that the two cases have different motivations.

"I believe players like Enzo (Barrenechea) and Richard Ríos are at the front of the queue to be transferred. In Enzo’s case, Marco Silva wants a different type of midfielder. From what I know, there are interested parties in Enzo, and it could be a creative deal that may even involve other players. In the case of Ríos, an increase in value was expected at the Club World Cup, which has not happened yet, but there is an awareness that Ríos has a big market," he explained.
