And this one? Bruno Lage eyes Benfica winger swoop | OneFootball

Bruma could be on his way to a new adventure away from the Luz - he has already been linked with Turkey - at a time when he is not part of Marco Silva’s plans for the new season. The 31-year-old Portugal international still has two years left on his contract with Benfica, but he could find a solution for his future through a club in Saudi Arabia.

According to O JOGO, the possibility comes from Al Diriyah, managed by Bruno Lage, who knows the winger well from his time with the Eagles. The Saudi club is looking to strengthen its attack and, on the recommendation of the Portuguese coach, is considering moving for the player on loan. Lage coached Bruma during his spell at the Luz and could now be set to work with the Portugal international again.

The winger joined Benfica in January 2025 from Braga in a deal worth €6 million. However, his spell at the Luz did not have the expected impact, also due to the physical problems that limited his involvement and kept him off the pitch for long periods.

Last season, the situation became even more complicated, with Bruma playing just 19 minutes across three appearances. In the second half of 2024/25, he had logged 763 minutes, during which he managed one goal and two assists for the Eagles.

Now, Al Diriyah has emerged as a possible solution to revive the winger’s career through a loan move. Bruno Lage’s influence could be decisive in this process, at a time when the player is looking to regain playing time and prominence after a spell at Benfica marked mainly by injuries and a lack of importance.
