Bruma remains outside Marco Silva’s plans at Benfica, but he is not giving up. The 31-year-old Portuguese international winger is on the Eagles’ transfer list and remains away from the first team while he looks for a solution for the future.
Despite the delicate situation, the player continues to work every day. Bruma shared on social media images of a training session accompanied by a personal trainer, apparently in a private garage equipped with gym equipment. The post shows that the winger remains focused on his physical preparation, even without a place among the red coach’s options.
Benfica are trying to find a solution for the player before the last international transfer windows still open close. Greece appears as a possibility, since the Greek transfer window only closes on September 15. Another option is a mutual termination of the contract that currently ties Bruma to the Club until 2028.
However, there is a significant obstacle for the board led by Rui Costa. Benfica are considering moving forward with an agreement that would end the deal, but, according to Glorioso 1904, Bruma is not willing to terminate his contract. The situation becomes even more complicated due to the Portuguese international’s high salary and the lack, so far, of concrete offers that could unlock the process. Benfica want to free up space both in the squad and on the wage bill, but are facing resistance from the player himself.
Until a solution emerges, Bruma continues to work on his own and wait for an opportunity that will allow him to relaunch his career. The winger knows, however, that he is not part of Marco Silva’s plans for the 2026/27 season.
