Bombshell! Benfica move to hijack Yeremay Hernández from Sporting | OneFootball

Benfica have entered the race to sign Yeremay Hernández and are set to battle rivals Sporting for the player. The Deportivo La Coruña forward continues to attract strong interest in the market and is seen as one of the most promising names in La Liga 2.

The two Lisbon clubs have already begun talks with the Spanish club, looking to speed up negotiations to gain an advantage in the process.

The Alvalade club have been tracking the attacker for several months, and the Spaniard’s name has been repeatedly linked with the Lions. Benfica have now emerged as a new direct rival, entering strongly into a battle that could heat up in the coming weeks.

What is more, the 23-year-old winger - who was praised by Rafael Obrador - is already looking for a house in Portugal, in Herdade da Aroeira, further fuelling rumours that he is indeed on his way to the Portuguese league for the 2026/27 season.

This season, playing for Deportivo, Yeremay Hernández – valued at €25 million – has made 38 appearances. In total, across the 2,963 minutes he has been on the pitch, the winger has scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists.
