Benfica winger overlooked by Marco Silva, Turkey his best bet | OneFootball

Benfica are still sorting out the final squad matters for the new season, and there are players looking for a solution to return to regular competition. Among them is a winger who has lost his place in Marco Silva’s plans and whose future could be settled before the transfer window closes.

The player in question is Bruma. According to information reported by O JOGO, two Turkish clubs have already shown interest in signing the Portuguese international on loan, after being informed that the 31-year-old winger is not part of the coach’s plans for this season.

After a spell marked by several physical problems since arriving at the Luz, Bruma is now looking to revive his career. The possibility of returning to Turkish football has emerged as a very strong scenario, especially as it was in that league that he enjoyed one of the best spells of his career, while playing for Galatasaray.

It should be remembered that the forward joined Benfica in 2025 from Braga in a deal worth around €6.5 million. However, strong competition in attack and injuries prevented the winger from establishing himself consistently in the red shirt.

With the transfer window approaching its final stretch, all signs indicate that Bruma’s departure could happen in the coming weeks. Interest from Turkey is growing and could represent the ideal opportunity for the winger to get regular playing time again, while Benfica continue working on shaping Marco Silva’s squad for the 2026/27 season.
