Burnley close to sealing Benfica target for just £8m | OneFootball

Marcel Regula’s future seems to be getting closer and closer to being decided. The Polish forward, who was once mentioned as one of the options Benfica were considering to strengthen their attack, is now very close to leaving football in his home country and moving to the Premier League.

According to Kamil Pawelczyk, the attacker is close to signing for Burnley, with the English club said to be ready to invest up to €8 million in the player. The same report mentions that the youngster had previously been tracked by Benfica and Germany’s Cologne.

The Eagles had already put an end to the process due to Zagłębie Lubin’s financial demands. According to previously reported information, the Polish club wanted around €10 million for the 19-year-old forward, a figure that Rui Costa was not willing to meet.

The Polish press even came to consider a move to Benfica highly unlikely, especially after the club’s hierarchy understood that the financial terms being demanded were too high. With the door to Luz practically closed, Regula’s future began to point toward other destinations, with English football gaining momentum.

The 2025/26 season produced by the young attacker helps explain the interest he has been generating. Marcel Regula, valued at around €7 million, made 32 official appearances for Zagłębie Lubin: 31 in the Polish league and one in the Polish Cup.
