Argentine wonderkid on Benfica's radar, but Rui Costa faces a tough task | OneFootball

The international press is linking Maher Carrizo to Benfica. According to reports, the young winger, who plays for Vélez Sarsfield, has been standing out and the Luz club has been monitoring his progress. However, the same source explains that Rui Costa will not have an easy task closing the deal.

According to Pasion Fortinera, one of South America's media outlets, Benfica is being linked to Maher Carrizo. However, other clubs are also showing interest in the winger, such as Manchester City, Olympiakos, Midtjylland, and Feyenoord.

The same source does not mention whether the Luz club intends to move forward with his signing in this winter transfer window, as there are still some names on the table that will be a priority for Benfica's board, namely the possible return of Rafa Silva.

It is possible to consider that. According to Bruno Andrade, the reds and whites have given up on that deal.

In the 2025 season, playing for Vélez Sarsfield, Maher Carrizo — valued at 10 million euros — has been one of the main references for the Argentine club. Linked to Benfica, he has recorded a total of 10 goals and three assists in the 36 matches he has played.
