Benfica face Bruma contract stand-off as winger risks being sidelined until January 2027 | OneFootball

Benfica are trying to terminate Bruma's contract, but the winger is unwilling to agree, leaving a stand-off. According to Glorioso 1904, he is not in Marco Silva's plans.

With the transfer window closing in most countries, he faces a serious possibility of going months without playing. Without a resolution, the prospect of no football until January 2027 is growing.

To avert that outcome, the club have sought a mutual rescission that would let both parties move on. Bruma has not accepted such a departure.

There are no concrete offers on the table and his salary is high, so the situation remains at an impasse.

If neither side shifts position, he could stay at Benfica despite being out of Silva's plans. That would put the first half of the season at risk of passing with minimal opportunities.
