Wout Weghorst bound for Benfica? Find out if the striker will sign | OneFootball

Wout Weghorst has once again been linked with Benfica by the Dutch press, but the striker is not part of the Reds’ plans for next season. Despite the rumors that have emerged in recent days, the Eagles’ officials are not considering signing him.

Speculation gathered pace after reports published in the Netherlands claimed there was alleged interest in the 33-year-old player. Journalist Mounir Boualin revealed, on a Voetbalzone podcast, that he had heard indications that the forward was even looking for housing in Portugal.

As our newspaper reported exclusively on April 23, the footballer, who will turn 34 at the start of the new season, does not fit the profile desired to strengthen Benfica’s squad next season (See HERE).

Currently tied to Ajax, the club with which his contract expires at the end of this month of June, the centre-forward is now focused on taking part in the World Cup, while his future remains undecided. In the match between the Netherlands and Japan (2-2), the player did not come off the bench.

This season, playing for Ajax, Wout Weghorst — valued at €2 million — took part in 34 official matches: 29 in the Eredivisie and five in the Champions League.
