Spaniards reveal Benfica fee to sign Sergio Arribas from Almería | OneFootball

Sergio Arribas for Dodi Lukebakio. This is the possibility that has been gaining momentum within Benfica’s hierarchy in the final days of the transfer window. The arrival of the Spanish playmaker at the Luz will depend directly on the departure of the Belgian international.

Benfica’s SAD will naturally have that figure in mind if it moves forward with the sale of Lukebakio. On the other side of the deal is Sergio Arribas, an Almería player who has attracted Benfica’s interest and whose numbers from last season help explain the strong interest surrounding the footballer.

At 24, the Spaniard enjoyed a high-level season in LaLiga 2. In 42 matches for Almería, Arribas recorded 32 direct goal contributions, numbers that placed him among the most productive players in Spanish football last season, even though the competition was played in the second tier.

Sergio Arribas is a clearly attack-minded player, capable of operating as a creative midfielder or as an inside forward on the right. The left-footer stands out for his ability to create imbalance and his ease in appearing in finishing areas. A possible move to the Eagles could cost Benfica €18 million.

The Spaniard is not limited to looking for the final pass. He takes an active part in build-up play, frequently looks for spaces between the lines and shows a strong ability to carry the ball forward. He is also a player with a real eye for goal, showing considerable efficiency when he appears in areas close to the opposition goal.
