Benfica winger causes huge headaches, could still move to Greece | OneFootball

Bruma’s future may lie in Greece. The Portuguese international, who was left out of Marco Silva’s squad list for the Europa League, is on the radar of Aris Thessaloniki, who have emerged as one of the clubs interested in signing the winger. With the Greek transfer window open until 15 September, Benfica’s SAD still believes it may be able to find a solution for the player.

Benfica’s priority is clear: to sell Bruma. The winger was signed from Braga for €6.5 million in the winter transfer window of the 2024/25 season, but he never managed to establish himself consistently at the Luz. The information was reported by Record.

Bruma’s spell at Benficawas heavily affected by fitness problems. At the start of last season, the Portuguese international suffered a complete rupture of his left Achilles tendon during the Eusébio Cup match against Fenerbahçe.

The serious injury marked the beginning of a long recovery period, compounded by further physical problems. As a result, the number 7 made only a very limited contribution in the 2025/26 season, featuring in just three official matches. With the arrival of Marco Silva, the situation became even more complicated. The coach removed the winger from his plans and Bruma began training separately while awaiting a solution for his future.

At this point, the Portuguese international is the last surplus player in Benfica’s squad still without a destination. The possibility of joining Aris could gather momentum in the coming days, especially given that the Greek market remains open after the closure of Europe’s main leagues.
