Benfica - which will have a surprise reinforcement for the second half of the season - is interested in signing Facundo Torres. The information was reported by market specialist Ekrem Konur, ensuring that the Eagles are closely following Abel Ferreira's protégé. The Uruguayan international emerges as a target to strengthen the Reds' attack in this winter transfer window.

Palmeiras demands 35M from Benfica for Facundo Torres

Palmeiras is demanding an amount between 30 and 35 million euros. According to the same source, the club does not intend to facilitate the departure of this important asset. This high financial demand could significantly complicate negotiations between the two clubs.

The player, who joined Abel Ferreira's squad in 2025 from Orlando City, wants to leave the green team. The star's desire is unequivocally to move to Europe. The footballer feels it is the ideal time to make a competitive leap in his career and test his abilities in a European league.

Winger wants to move to Europe

The South American is a left-footed winger who can easily play on both flanks. The forward is known for being very strong in one-on-one situations and has a highly refined finishing ability. These technical characteristics are very appealing to Benfica, which sees him as the perfect disruptor to shake up the squad.

In the 2025 season, wearing Palmeiras' jersey, Facundo Torres – valued at 13 million euros – played 61 games: 29 in the Brasileirão, 14 in the Paulista, 11 in the Copa Libertadores, and four in the Club World Cup. In the 3,637 minutes he was on the field, the winger scored 10 goals and made five assists.
