Rui Pedro Braz could outfox Rui Costa and hijack Benfica’s transfer target | OneFootball

Al Ahli, which includes Rui Pedro Braz in its football structure, has entered the scene for Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh. It appears that the Saudi club, where the former Eagles' director works, has shown interest in the player, who is also a target for Benfica and Porto.

According to national press reports, the Saudi club is keen to sign the central defender and, as the same sources reveal, may win the race for Kinteh. It has been determined that Rui Pedro Braz has submitted an offer to Tromso's management of around 8 million euros.

Regarding the interest from Benfica and Porto, the two Portuguese rivals have only gathered information about the 19-year-old defender, who has been performing well for the Norwegian league club. However, by making this offer, Al Ahli gains ground in signing Kinteh.

On the other hand, besides the international player for Gambia's national team, Benfica is also monitoring the progress of Arseniy Batagov, a Ukrainian from Trabzonspor.

In the 2025 season, wearing Tromso's jersey, Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh – valued at 5 million euros – played in 22 official matches: 21 in the National Championship and one in the Norwegian Cup. In the 1,739 minutes he was on the field, the 19-year-old athlete recorded one goal and one assist.
