Cologne winger linked with Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica remain alert to the transfer market and have Jakub Kaminski on their radar to strengthen the wings in attack. The Eagles are monitoring the situation of the Polish international, although they face strong competition, with Brighton and Leipzig also interested in the player.

The 24-year-old attacker stood out last season in Cologne’s colours, where he scored seven goals in 36 Bundesliga matches after joining on loan from Wolfsburg. The information was reported by German newspaper Express. Despite Benfica’s interest, however, Jakub Kaminski admitted that he would like to make the jump to English football.

After a positive season, Cologne activated the purchase option included in the agreement with Wolfsburg, paying around €17 million for the winger. However, according to the German press, the club could be open to a sale in this transfer window if an offer comes in that matches the release clause, set at €20 million.

Before his spell at Wolfsburg, Kaminski shone for Lech Poznań, the club where he established himself in Polish football and attracted the interest of several European sides. The winger also has 31 caps for Poland’s senior national team and, interestingly, has already faced Benfica in the Europa League, in 2020.

As has been reported, Marco Silva wants to strengthen the attacking department with a player capable of operating in different positions across the front line, while Benfica keep an eye on several options in the market. In addition to Jakub Kaminski, Darío Osorio, the Chilean winger from Midtjylland, also remains among the names being tracked.
