Luís Mateus reveals Benfica’s latest transfer target | OneFootball

Luís Mateus believes that Benfica will need to sign a left-back in the winter transfer market. The journalist puts this possibility on the table as he considers that the current options do not fully meet the demands and expectations set by the Clube da Luz and José Mourinho.

Present on the commentary program broadcast by Bola TV, the well-known journalist begins by discussing the current options of the eagles. "He had a few minutes with the B team. In his debut game, he was important in the result by making the cross for the goal, thus an assist," he said regarding Rafel Obrador.

Despite acknowledging the quality of the young Spaniard, Luís Mateus suggests that Benfica will invest in January. "For Mourinho's idea, he still needs to gain some defensive resilience. He needs to start showing it, as I believe that the players Mourinho will look for in the January market will likely include a left-back."

"[Samuel] Dahl still doesn't convince and [Rafael] Obrador, as they say, is very raw. He is still in the maturation phase and will have an opportunity against Tondela. Therefore, Dahl should start the game and Obrador will have some minutes in the second half," concluded Luís Mateus on Bola TV. Check out José Mourinho's preview.

Samuel Dahl joined Benfica in January 2024, on loan from Roma, and is now permanent. In the current season, the Swedish international - valued at 9 million euros - has played 17 official matches with the Sacred Mantle so far. In the 1,428 minutes he has been on the field, the number 26 has provided one assist.
