Benfica line up Kaminski arrival, with a curious transfer twist | OneFootball

Jakub Kaminski is very close to becoming a Benfica signing and, if the transfer is confirmed, the Polish winger will be yet another player to swap the Bundesliga for the Luz. At 24, the attacker from Cologne is seen as one of the top priorities for the structure led by Rui Costa to strengthen Marco Silva’s attack.

Kaminski’s arrival would allow the Polish international to join a list of footballers who made the same move to Benfica. Among the best-known names are Robert Enke, Hans-Jörg Butt, Haris Seferović, Julian Weigl, Luka Waldschmidt, John Brooks, Jan-Niklas Beste and Leandro Barreiro, as well as Jovica Simanić and Hany Mukhtar.

Some of those signings left a significant mark on the Club’s recent history. Haris Seferović won a national title (2018/2019) and became one of the Eagles’ main attacking references for several seasons, while Julian Weigl made 105 official appearances in the red shirt before returning to German football.

Other players had more low-key spells at the Luz, such as John Brooks, Luka Waldschmidt, Hany Mukhtar, and Jan-Niklas Beste, while Robert Enke is still remembered by the fans for the seasons in which he guarded Benfica’s goal between 1999/00 and 2001/02.

Now, all eyes are on Jakub Kaminski. The Polish winger is preparing to begin a new challenge at Benfica and will have the task of living up to the high expectations surrounding his signing, while looking to write a success story similar to that of some of the names who arrived at the Luz from the German league.
