Marco Silva lets Luxembourg midfielder leave Benfica, exclusive | OneFootball

Tomás Cruz could be on his way out of Benfica in this summer transfer window. The B team midfielder has attracted interest from Dinamo Bucharest and Kairat, two clubs that have already taken concrete steps to try to secure the Luxembourg international’s signing, confirming information reported exclusively by Glorioso 1904.

Interest first came from the Romanian club, which submitted an offer to sign the player on a permanent deal. The bid includes a fixed fee and a variable component based on objectives, which could bring the total to around €500,000.

Later, Kairat also entered the race, showing willingness to present an offer on very similar terms to the one put on the table by Dinamo Bucharest. The midfielder, who is not in Marco Silva’s plans, made 30 appearances for Benfica B last season, along with three more matches for the Eagles’ under-23 side.

Both offers include a condition considered essential by the interested clubs: Benfica would retain a significant share of Tomás Cruz’s economic rights, in addition to securing a percentage of any future capital gain from a potential transfer.

Signed by Benfica in 2024, Tomás Cruz was a regular presence in the reserve team managed by Nélson Veríssimo and also represented the club’s under-23s. Despite being used consistently throughout last season, the midfielder was not included in Marco Silva’s plans for the first team’s pre-season work, a situation that could make an exit easier during this transfer window.
