Benfica plans to loan out Bruma in this transfer window, Glorioso 1904 has learned. The player is on the Eagles’ list of surplus squad members, and his departure is seen as a priority. However, with a permanent sale proving impossible, the club’s board has defined a temporary move as the only viable solution for the immediate future of the 31-year-old.

The forward attracted interest from clubs in Greece and Turkey during the off-season. Despite concrete approaches made to the player’s representatives, none of the interested clubs showed the financial capacity to secure a permanent transfer.

His high wages turned out to be an insurmountable obstacle to completing a permanent move. The club’s football structure, led by Rui Costa, wants to speed up the placement of the Portugal international.

Sending Bruma out on loan is becoming increasingly urgent as the transfer window nears its close. The winger is not among the coaching staff’s main options, and his continued stay at the Estádio da Luz is a scenario the board wants to avoid.

The future of the Benfica forward could be decided with the confirmation of this loan arrangement. Bruma may be preparing to continue his career at another club, in a process in which a temporary move ultimately prevailed over the desired permanent transfer.
