Exclusive Glorioso 1904: Samuel Dahl’s form prompts new Benfica strategy | OneFootball

Benfica feels that it no longer needs to go to the market for a left-back. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our Newspaper reveals that the club's management, led by Rui Costa, is satisfied with the performance the Swedish international has been delivering.

Glorioso 1904 knows, from a source close to the process, that the number 26, after a tumultuous start to the season, has shown several reasons to continue being a valid option for José Mourinho, a coach who has never missed an opportunity to publicly defend his player.

As previously reported by our Newspaper, the Special One places total confidence in the options available for the left side of Benfica's defense. Besides Samuel Dahl — who is on Manchester United's radar — José Mourinho believes that José Neto, a 17-year-old, is a capable alternative to meet the coach's demands.

On the other hand, Glorioso 1904 knows that Benfica does not completely close the door to the market but is now focusing on other priorities. On the table is the need to hire another winger for the squad, with the name currently generating the most consensus being Toni Fruk, a player from Rijeka. Still, the Eagles are not alone in the race for the Croatian.

Samuel Dahl — valued at 9 million euros — has represented the Eagles since January 2024. In this season, his first full one with Benfica, the Swedish international has been used in 28 official matches, between national competitions and the Champions League. In the 2,347 minutes he was on the pitch, he recorded two goals and one assist.
