Dodi Lukebakio is no longer avoiding Benfica. This is the information that has been gathered in the last few hours by national and international press. Thus, Rui Costa is very close to securing another significant reinforcement for the team, in order to meet the needs that Bruno Lage's team presents.
Through his official account on the social network X, Fabrizio Romano reported the deal between the Clube da Luz and the Seville club, stating that there is a total agreement between the two parties. In the same post, the journalist reveals that the number 10 of the Sevillians is closed and will sign a contract valid until 2030.
However, the Italian specialist doesn't stop there and suggests that the Belgian forward, who plays as a right winger, is traveling to Lisbon today, in time to undergo the usual medical exams, in order to get the green light to sign the contract with his new club, in this case, Benfica.
The fact that the team managed to secure the player, despite the values demanded by Seville having 'scared' Benfica, indicates that something might not have gone well in the negotiations with Levante for Carlos Álvarez. The latest known information about the deal is that Clube da Luz, led by Rui Costa, presented an offer reaching 15 million euros for the 22-year-old winger.
Dodi Lukebakio is seen as one of the most influential players of Seville in recent seasons. In the current sports season, the right winger - valued at 20 million euros - has played two official matches, both in La Liga. In the 180 minutes he was on the pitch, the number 10 scored one goal.
