Samuel Dahl at risk at Benfica! Left-back could soon face new competition | OneFootball

Samuel Dahl has not yet fully convinced the structure led by Rui Costa. In this regard, the number 26 of Benfica may have his place at risk. This is reported by journalist Luís Mateus, who claims that the Clube da Luz, at José Mourinho's request, will invest in the winter market to sign a new left-back.

Present on the commentary program broadcast by Bola TV, the well-known journalist begins by discussing the current options for the eagles. "He had a few minutes for the B team. In his debut game, he was important in the result by making the cross for the goal, therefore an assist," he said regarding Rafel Obrador.

Despite acknowledging the quality of the young Spaniard, Luís Mateus suggests that Benfica will invest in January. "For Mourinho's idea, he still needs to gain some defensive toughness. He has to start showing it, as I believe that the players Mourinho will look for in the January market will probably include a left-back."

"[Samuel] Dahl still doesn't convince, and [Rafael] Obrador, as they say, is very raw. He is still in the maturation phase and will have an opportunity against Tondela. Therefore, Dahl should start the game, and Obrador will have some minutes in the second half," concluded Luís Mateus on Bola TV. Check out José Mourinho's preview.

Samuel Dahl joined Benfica in January 2024 on loan from Roma and is now permanently with the team. This season, the Swedish international - valued at 9 million euros - has played 17 official matches with the Sacred Mantle so far. In the 1,428 minutes he was on the field, the number 26 provided one assist.
