Benfica want to sign winger who scored 26 goals in Spain this season | OneFootball

Sergio Arribas has re-entered Benfica’s radar as they look to strengthen their attacking department for the 2026/27 season. The Spanish winger from Almería is one of the players being tracked by the Eagles’ hierarchy and could become an even stronger option if there are departures in attack, namely Andreas Schjelderup or Gianluca Prestianni.

According to 'Correio da Manhã', Benfica have already made exploratory contacts to understand the conditions of a potential deal and could move forward with a formal offer in the coming days. However, the Eagles are not alone in the race for the 24-year-old footballer, as Ajax are also closely monitoring the player’s situation.

Arribas’ versatility is one of the factors Benfica like most. The Spaniard can play on either flank in attack and has characteristics similar to Harry Wilson’s, a player who shone under Marco Silva at Fulham, a profile that fits the ideas of Benfica’s coach.

The left-footed forward stood out for the Andalusian side. A possible transfer in this summer transfer window could be around €20 million, a figure that could prove decisive in negotiations between the two clubs.

This 2025/26 season, playing for Almería, Sergio Arribas – valued at €20 million – featured in 47 matches: 46 in the Spanish second division and one in the Copa del Rey.
