Benfica open to permanent Lukebakio deal, order source revealed | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio could be on his way out of Benfica before the transfer window closes. The SAD led by Rui Costa is willing to listen to offers for the Belgian international, and it is already known who was responsible for this indication.

According to Record, the Belgian international has not convinced Marco Silva, opening the door to a departure this summer. For that reason, the Benfica coach has been preferring Rafa Silva on the right wing.

The French press reported last Tuesday Besiktas's interest in the 28-year-old forward, but that information has since been denied. In fact, the Istanbul club announced the signing of Ernest Poku from Bayer Leverkusen, a player who also operates on the wings, like Lukebakio.

Although a move to Besiktas is unlikely to come to fruition, Lukebakio’s time with the Eagles could indeed come to an end this summer. After one season at the Luz, in which he featured in 23 matches and scored one goal, a departure is the most realistic scenario.

After taking part in the World Cup, the former Sevilla attacker joined pre-season preparations later, but he has already been used in four matches. The 28-year-old winger started in the away trip to Scottish side Hearts (1-1) and was responsible for Benfica’s only goal.
