Benfica ‘not prioritising’ Reiss Nelson as Arsenal open to €10m sale | OneFootball

Arsenal are willing to sell Reiss Nelson for €10m, but Benfica, led by Rui Costa, do not consider him a priority target, according to A Bola.

The Lisbon club remain active in the market and are looking for a winger to strengthen the attack. Nelson has been among the names linked in England.

The 26-year-old is entering the final year of his Arsenal contract and is available for transfer. Salary demands and overall costs could complicate any move, and Benfica are reluctant to overextend. He is valued at eight million euros.

Even so, Benfica continue to assess Nelson’s profile alongside other options for the forward line. The player is open to moving abroad and has already rejected some Premier League offers.

A switch to Lisbon would reunite him with Marco Silva, who coached him during a 2024/25 loan at Fulham, where he played 12 times, scored two goals and made one assist. Last season he was on loan at Brentford, featuring in 14 matches with one goal and two assists.
