Wolfsburg's top scorer on Benfica's radar (and it's not Amoura) | OneFootball

Without having a manager defined for the 2026/2027 season, rumors surrounding possible reinforcements for Benfica are beginning to emerge. This Monday, a striker in Germany is being linked with the Reds, despite his team’s poor season.

It is Dzenan Pejcinovic, a 21-year-old Wolfsburg forward. Kicker magazine reports a “strong approach” from the Eagles in tracking the young striker ahead of the next summer transfer window.

The left-footed striker was one of the few positive highlights of a difficult season for Wolfsburg, who ended up being relegated to Bundesliga 2 after 29 consecutive seasons in the top tier of German football. Even so, the forward finished the season with 12 goals in 34 matches, eight in the German League, establishing himself as the team’s top scorer.

The young German’s development has not gone unnoticed, with several clubs monitoring his situation. Among the interested parties are not only German sides such as Freiburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt, but also Benfica, who appear on the list of clubs keeping a close eye on his progress.

Despite the growing interest, the same source adds that the player may prefer to remain in his home country, at a time when Wolfsburg are also trying to hold on to one of their main figures as they target an immediate return to the Bundesliga. The German club, through sporting director Dieter Hecking, has already made it clear that only an “exceptional” offer, above 20 million euros, could open the door to the striker’s departure.
