Benfica ‘to advance’ for Sergio Arribas if Lukebakio exits after Almería training absence | OneFootball

Sergio Arribas missed Almería’s latest training session with only hours left in the window, heightening anticipation among Benfica supporters. Diario de Almería reports that the absence comes amid increasing links to a move to Lisbon.

His possible arrival at Benfica has gathered momentum in recent days, but any deal depends on Belgian international Dodi Lukebakio leaving, which would create the funds to move for the Spaniard.

Arribas, 24 and left-footed, delivered a standout season in Spain’s second tier with the Andalusian club. He recorded 32 goal involvements across 42 matches, underlining unusual productivity at that level.

He offers an attacking profile, able to operate as a creative midfielder or as an inside forward from the right. He is noted for arriving in scoring areas. A switch to the Estádio da Luz could cost about 18 million euros.

Beyond passing and vision, he contributes in build-up and carries the ball effectively. With a powerful long-range shot, the Spaniard now awaits the outcome of negotiations before the registration deadline.
