Benfica want to sign winger who scored 26 goals in Spain this season | OneFootball

Sergio Arribas has once again come onto Benfica’s radar as they look to strengthen their attacking sector for the 2026/27 season. The Spanish winger from Almería is one of the players being monitored by the club’s hierarchy and could become an even stronger option if there are departures in attack, namely Andreas Schjelderup or Gianluca Prestianni.

According to 'Correio da Manhã', Benfica have already made exploratory contacts to understand the conditions of a possible deal and could move forward with a formal offer in the coming days. However, the Eagles are not alone in the race for the 24-year-old footballer, as Ajax are also closely following the player’s situation.

Arribas’ versatility is one of the factors Benfica like most. The Spaniard can play on either wing in attack and has characteristics similar to Harry Wilson’s, a player who shone under Marco Silva at Fulham, a profile that fits the ideas of Benfica’s coach.

The left-footed forward stood out for the Andalusian side. A possible transfer in this summer transfer window could be around 20 million euros, a figure that could prove decisive in negotiations between the two clubs.

In the 2025/26 season, playing for Almería, Sergio Arribas – valued at 20 million euros – made 47 appearances: 46 in the Spanish second division and one in the Copa del Rey.
