Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica's Portugal star tempted by Middle East | OneFootball

Bruma’s future should lie in Middle Eastern football. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reports that the winger is set to move to the Arab world at the end of the current season, as he is one of the names Benfica are looking to offload from José Mourinho’s squad with the 2026/27 campaign in mind.

Glorioso 1904 has learned from sources close to the process that the Portuguese footballer, currently injured, has a market in the Middle East and, according to our newspaper, is even open to the possibility of moving there in order to sign a highly lucrative contract from a financial standpoint.

Thus, as Glorioso 1904 has found out exclusively, Benfica are looking to sell the former Portugal international, who is not part of José Mourinho’s plans. With that in mind, the Reds’ board, led by Rui Costa, will try at the very least to recoup the investment made in the player when he was signed from Braga in the winter transfer window, in January 2025.

On the other hand, Glorioso 1904 also knows that Bruma’s most likely destination could be one of the top leagues in the Middle East, namely Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates or Qatar. For now, Benfica’s number 7 continues to recover from injury, at a time when the winger is part of a group of players deemed surplus to requirements by the Lisbon club.

This season, playing for Benfica, Bruma - valued at €5 million - has made only two official appearances since recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon. The winger has no direct goal contributions in the 13 minutes he has spent on the pitch.
