Breaking! Jakub Kaminski is already in Lisbon to bolster Benfica | OneFootball

Jakub Kaminski is already in Lisbon to make his transfer to Benfica official. The Polish winger, arriving from Cologne, landed at Tires Airport on Monday afternoon and did not hide his excitement about starting a new chapter in his career with the Eagles. Upon arriving in Portugal, the Polish international said he was pleased with the move to the Luz and left an initial message for Benfica fans.

"I’m very happy to be here", he began by telling the journalists present at the scene. The new Benfica signing also assured that he is ready to live up to expectations: "I’m ready to show my qualities. I hope everything goes well today. Benfica is a great club", he added.

Benfica reached an agreement with Cologne to sign Kaminski for 20 million euros. The winger will sign a contract valid for the next five seasons, becoming one of the main investments of the SAD led by Rui Costa in this summer transfer window.

Despite also being tracked by clubs such as Brighton and RB Leipzig, the Polish international gave priority to the project presented by Benfica, choosing to continue his career at the Estádio da Luz. After completing the usual medical examinations and formally signing the contract, Jakub Kaminski will immediately join the training sessions led by Marco Silva.

If his integration goes as planned, the winger could make his unofficial debut in a Benfica shirt as early as next Saturday, against Flamengo, in what will be the first pre-season warm-up match open to Benfica supporters.
