The transfer market may have come to an end, but clubs—where Benfica is no exception—are already starting to assess possible future reinforcements for the next transfer window. With this in mind, according to what has been determined, the Eagles’ management, led by Rui Costa, is closely monitoring the performances of Muhammed Damar, although they are not alone in this.
Based on recent developments, the German international for the under-21 national team has been the subject of several observations from some of the biggest clubs in Europe, such as Benfica, but also Napoli. This information was shared by journalist and market expert Rudy Galetti.
Through his official account on the social network X, formerly Twitter, he writes that both the Lisbon club—which secured the signing of Federico Coletta—and the Neapolitans, are the ones following the German’s progress most closely, after he recently shone in a match for Germany against Latvia.
In the same post, Galetti writes that the Hoffenheim player, who stood out during a loan spell at Elfsborg, has returned to the Bundesliga club and, according to him, the interest from both teams is so strong that they may move forward with his signing as early as the January transfer window.
Muhammed Damar—valued at 7 million euros—is currently one of the most sought-after names in European football. In the current sporting season, Hoffenheim’s number 10 has already played two official matches: one in the Bundesliga and another in the DFB-Pokal. In the 42 minutes he was on the pitch, the German provided an assist.
