ChatGPT advises Benfica to sign Lille full-back | OneFootball

The summer market is heating up and, in a rather unusual approach, ChatGPT was challenged to identify realistic reinforcements for the three Portuguese football giants. In Benfica’s case, the artificial intelligence was direct in pointing out a clear gap in the squad: the right-back position continues to raise doubts regarding long-term stability and solidity.

According to the analysis, the ideal name to fill that need would be Tiago Santos, a 23-year-old Portuguese right-back who currently plays for Lille. The player, who in Portugal came through Sporting’s academy, later stood out at Estoril, where he gained recognition before moving to French football.

ChatGPT highlights that Tiago Santos - who was already a previous target - offers a modern profile for the position, with intensity, attacking ability and good defensive awareness, traits that would fit the style of play Benfica want for next season.

Still according to this assessment, the possible arrival of the full-back could provide greater consistency on the right flank, one of the areas most closely examined by Benfica’s structure in recent seasons. Trained in Sporting’s academy, the defender ended up building his senior career in Portugal with Estoril before making the move to Lille, where he has been steadily establishing his value in European football.

This season, wearing the Lille shirt, Tiago Santos - currently valued at 10 million euros - made 28 appearances for the French side: 15 in Ligue 1, 11 in the Europa League and two in the French Cup, recording one assist in 1,390 minutes.
