Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Another Benfica CB out, not in 2026/27 plans | OneFootball

Joshua Wynder is set to leave Benfica in the summer transfer window. According to information gathered by Glorioso 1904, in addition to Rodrigo Rêgo, the American centre-back is not part of the Reds' plans for the 2026/27 season. Rui Costa’s priority is to find a permanent solution for the 21-year-old footballer.

Joshua Wynder arrived at Seixal with considerable room for development, but ultimately failed to establish himself as expected.

The serious injury suffered by the defender forced him into a long spell on the sidelines, hampering what was seen as a crucial period for his breakthrough. Although Benfica still recognise the player’s qualities, the truth is that the club’s hierarchy believes the best scenario for all parties is a change of scenery this summer.

At this stage, the Reds’ preference is a permanent sale. Even so, the Benfica SAD, led by Rui Costa, is open to listening to offers for the defender, believing that Joshua Wynder has suitors not only in Portugal but also abroad.

The final strategy will always depend on the market and the proposals that reach the table of Benfica’s decision-makers. Benfica are open to assessing different scenarios, but everything indicates that the American defender will not be part of next season’s squad.
