Bruma keeps making headlines, Benfica have reasons to smile | OneFootball

Bruma has exceeded and continues to exceed all expectations, even the most optimistic ones. After being the big surprise in the squad for the match against Rio Ave, the Benfica winger was listed on the match sheet, a clear sign that he will soon be an option for José Mourinho.

According to the newspaper Record, the Reds are very close to having another winter reinforcement, with the 31-year-old footballer surpassing all scenarios laid out. Thus, almost six months after suffering an Achilles tendon rupture, the Portuguese player is expected to get his first minutes of the season very soon.

The return of the number 27 jersey is excellent news for José Mourinho, who has been desperate due to the constant injuries plaguing the Reds' squad and, at the same time, because the Clube da Luz is struggling to secure new signings.

In summary, after Sidny Cabral, who was signed from Estrela da Amadora even before the official opening of the winter market, Bruma is seen as the second 'reinforcement' of January, ready to contribute in Benfica's upcoming commitments, with the Champions League and the Championship at stake.

Bruma joined Benfica in January 2025, coming from Braga, for 6 million euros. In the second half of last season, the winger played 14 matches with the Sacred Mantle before suffering a serious injury, scoring one goal and making two assists.
