Besiktas were first to move this summer, indicating they could reach €35 million, a figure that also failed to tempt Benfica.

The club believe the Greek striker will continue to gain value across the season, so they do not rule out seeking a higher fee if more interest emerges.

The Greek international, 27, joined from AZ Alkmaar in 2024 for €18 million, is under contract until 2029 and has a €100 million release clause. He has 112 appearances for Benfica, with 64 goals and 18 assists.
