Benfica striker wanted in Paris, could move to France in 2026/2027 | OneFootball

Gustavo Varela continues to attract interest from outside Portugal, and Benfica could move toward a new solution regarding the young forward’s future. After a season on loan at Gil Vicente, everything indicates that the player is not expected to be part of the Eagles’ squad in 2026/27.

According to Record, Paris FC and Parma are the clubs following the Portuguese attacker’s situation most closely. The two sides have already reportedly expressed interest to the Eagles and could soon submit formal offers to secure Gustavo Varela’s signing.

The SAD led by Rui Costa views the possibility of making a profit from the player positively, although there is an intention not to lose full control over the forward’s rights. As such, a loan with an option or a sale with future clauses remain possible scenarios on the table.

Before any decision is made, Gustavo Varela will still finish the season in Gil Vicente’s service. The forward is preparing to play the final league matchday at Alvalade, a game that could be important in the final calculations for the Barcelos side.

This season, wearing the Gil Vicente shirt, Gustavo Varela - valued at €2 million - has made 32 appearances: 31 in Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Portuguese Cup. .
