PSV winger could be the one to replace Lukebakio at Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica’s transfer market continues to make headlines in the international press with the emergence of a new attacking target. The Eagles’ football structure is considering moving forward with the signing of a young talent who came very close to heading to Spain at the close of this window.

Esmir Bajraktarevic is the name chosen to replace Dodi Lukebakio in Benfica’s squad, according to Bosnian publication Reprezentacija.BA. The 21-year-old winger plays for PSV and missed out on a move to Sevilla because the transfer window in Spain closed without a final agreement.

The Andalusian club wanted a loan deal, but the Dutch side were demanding a fixed fee of €8 million to release the Bosnian international. Benfica’s board followed the process closely, considering a permanent signing if the sale of the Belgian attacker was confirmed.

. Although the market in Portugal remains open and PSV had already secured the proper internal alternative, Lukebakio’s stay at the Luz halted progress on the deal.

. Benfica’s SAD is nevertheless keeping the information on file, staying alert to any last-minute moves before the close of domestic registrations.
