Benfica and Porto in the race for Club Brugge left-back | OneFootball

Benfica are keeping a close eye on Joaquin Seys’ development. The Belgian full-back, just 21 years old, has attracted the interest of several European clubs and has emerged on the Eagles’ radar as a possible option for the left side of the defence, which is close to losing Obrador.

According to British newspaper The Sun, Benfica and Porto are among the clubs that have been closely monitoring the player, who is currently an undisputed starter. Joaquin Seys is regarded as one of the young prospects of Belgian football, and Portugal’s two biggest clubs are described as “the perfect platform” for the defender to continue his development process.

However, signing the player does not look straightforward. The Belgian runners-up are said to have set the full-back’s price at €35 million, a figure that could complicate any potential move by Benfica. The Eagles also face strong competition from clubs with greater financial power.

Arsenal are among the main clubs interested in the player. The London side have already spent around €160 million in this transfer window and continue to keep the winger on their radar. Manchester United are also said to have made exploratory contacts for the full-back, while Aston Villa are monitoring the situation as well.

Interest in Joaquin Seys grew even more after the player’s performance at the last World Cup. The full-back helped Belgium reach the quarter-finals, where the Belgians were ultimately eliminated by Spain, 2-1.
