Exclusive: Benfica have a plan to ease Mourinho’s headache | OneFootball

Benfica is ready to attack the winter transfer market in order to address some of the shortcomings identified by José Mourinho in the squad. Our newspaper reveals, in this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, that the Club from Luz will use the transfer window to cope with the physical wear and tear of the Eagles’ team.

The truth is that the start of the season for Benfica has been very demanding, especially after their participation in the Club World Cup, which considerably shortened the squad’s vacation time. Taking part in the third qualifying round and play-off of the Champions League, as well as competing in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, increased the workload and demands at the start of the 2025/26 season.

In this context, José Mourinho is already thinking about the January market to add depth and quality to the squad, as Glorioso 1904 reports in this Exclusive. In addition to looking for more options to manage the team in all areas, the coach may also be interested in another game-changing player for the Eagles’ attack.

It’s worth remembering that, including the classic against Porto, Benfica has already played a total of 15 matches this season, since the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, which took place on July 31. This number also includes six Champions League matches and another eight in Liga Portugal Betclic.
