Marco Silva’s choice of Prestianni over Kaminski and Schjelderup has once again put Bruma at the center of the discussion at Benfica. For Leonor Pinhão, however, the discussion should not focus only on Marco Silva’s options, but above all on the decision that led Benfica to invest in the player.
"Although it may seem so, this conversation is not about Prestianni, nor about Kaminski, nor about Schjelderup. It is about Bruma, who arrived at Benfica in the winter of 2025 at 30 years of age in exchange for 6 million euros for Braga, presided over by António Salvador, with whom Rui Costa’s Benfica has always found it difficult to talk," she wrote in the newspaper 'Record'.
The Benfica supporter believes that Bruma’s arrival was far from being a major-impact deal for Benfica: "Bruma’s signing obviously had nothing sensational about it – apart from the 6 million given to Braga – and his output at the Luz stands at 1 goal and two assists. Therefore, it will be impossible for us ever to hear Marco Silva tell journalists, 'perhaps you are expecting me to take out Prestianni, Schjelderup and Kaminski to put in Bruma,'" she ironized.
Despite the 6 million euros invested by Benfica, Leonor Pinhão believes that the value of the signing is far from representing one of the biggest investments made by the Club, especially taking into account the inflation of today’s market.
