Benfica transfer market: Rui Costa eyes Polish playmaker | OneFootball

The market has not opened yet, but rumours are already starting to emerge and stir clubs across Europe. According to what has been gathered, Bartosz Mazurek, who plays for Polish side Jagiellonia, is being linked as a possible target to strengthen Benfica for next season.

According to reports carried by the local press, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder is on the list of potential targets that Benfica’s board, led by Rui Costa, is keeping an eye on. The same reports add that the Eagles have already assessed his profile.

As explained by Polish outlet Goal.pl, the Reds have already drawn up reports on the Jagiellonia player in order to determine whether the 19-year-old midfielder has the right profile to strengthen Benfica’s squad next season. For now, there is no record of any approach being made by the Lisbon club.

The same source also recalls that Mazurek, who has been standing out in the Polish league, was also on Porto’s radar during the winter transfer window, with rumours suggesting that the Dragons made exploratory contacts. However, Porto’s hierarchy ended up signing Oskar Pietuszewski, a teammate of the 19-year-old attacking midfielder.

This season, playing for Jagiellonia, Bartosz Mazurek - valued at €3.5 million - has already made 31 official appearances: 18 in the Polish League, nine in the Conference League, three in the Third Division and one in the Polish Cup.
