ChatGPT urges Benfica to sign Lille full-back | OneFootball

The summer market is red-hot and, in a rather unusual approach, ChatGPT was challenged to identify realistic signings for the Big Three of Portuguese football. In Benfica’s case, the artificial intelligence was blunt in pointing out a clear gap in the squad: the right-back position continues to raise doubts regarding long-term stability and certainty.

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 former target - offers a modern profile for the position, with intensity, attacking ability and strong defensive awareness, characteristics 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 reviewed 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 - made 28 appearances for the French side: 15 in Ligue 1, 11 in the Europa League and two in the Coupe de France, where in 1,390 minutes he recorded one assist.
