Former Benfica footballer's wife keen to return to Portugal | OneFootball

Sarah Richmond, wife of Julian Weigl, left a message on social media admitting that she wants to return to Portugal. The couple were in Portugal over the past few days, and the German midfielder, who left Benfica in 2022 and is currently with Saudi side Al Qadsiah, shared an image from inside the Estádio da Luz after attending the 3-0 win over V. Guimarães in the 27th round of the league.

"Oh, Portugal. Forever in love. You were our first home away from home. The place where we grew the most, individually, as a couple and, above all, as a family. We left, and even today, with the first bite of a pastel de nata and the first breath of sea air, it feels as if we never left. I hope that one day I can call you home again. Until then, you will always be the place where my mind finds refuge when the world becomes too noisy," wrote Sarah Richmond.

The former Benfica player and his wife, it should be noted, recently lost a child during pregnancy. The news was also shared by Sarah Richmond through a post on her Instagram account, where she published a photo taken at the hospital. In the message, she expressed the pain of the moment.

"By now, I probably would have told you about my pregnancy, the most beautiful secret of the past few weeks. But unfortunately, our journey ended far too quickly, before we could even meet our baby. Because that is what it is to us. It is not a failed pregnancy. It is our baby, whom we will never be able to hold in our arms."

Wearing the Benfica shirt, Julian Weigl made 115 appearances, scored five goals and provided five assists. Although he did not finish the season at Benfica, he was a national champion in 2022/2023, having made two league appearances under Roger Schmidt.
