Ivan Lima left Benfica, but his new adventure is off to a rocky start | OneFootball

Ivan Lima, who made his debut for Benfica’s first team under José Mourinho, has struggled to establish himself at Piast Gliwice. Despite joining the Polish club with expectations for growth, the 21-year-old winger has played only two matches and spent just 29 minutes on the pitch.

The young player is regularly called up by Daniel Mysliwec, but rarely gets playing time, which has limited his ability to showcase the talent that earned him promotion to the first team at Clube da Luz. He is still searching for his place in the league.

With a contract until the summer of 2029, Ivan Lima will try to accumulate more minutes by the end of the 2025/26 season. His priority will be to show consistency on the field and prove that he has what it takes to establish himself at the current 13th-placed team in the Ekstraklasa.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Ivan Lima – valued at 500 thousand euros – played 22 matches: 20 for the B team and two with the main squad. The winger played a total of 1,226 minutes, without scoring any goals or providing any assists.
