Transfer market: Benfica's new Gyokeres could cost just €5m | OneFootball

Isac Lidberg is the name being linked with Benfica. Based on the information that has been circulating in recent days, the 27-year-old Swedish striker is set to leave Darmstadt at the end of the season and has attracted several interested clubs in European football, including the Eagles, led by Rui Costa.

According to information reported by Florian Plattenberg, the imposing 1.87-metre forward, who brings to mind Viktor Gyokeres, the star who marked an era at Sporting, has been standing out for the club competing in Germany’s second division. With Benfica among the interested parties, the journalist adds that Darmstadt are asking for a fee close to €5 million.

However, as expected, the Lisbon club are not alone in the race for Lidberg. The 27-year-old striker, who has scored 15 goals in Bundesliga 2, is under contract until the summer of 2027 and is also being monitored by clubs from Germany’s top flight, as well as Lyon, who are said to have sent scouts to watch the Swede.

Without any kind of confirmation regarding possible contacts from Benfica, signing Lidberg could be a more affordable solution for the Eagles, who, according to the Polish press, are not interested in paying around €10 million to Zaglebie Lubin for Marcel Regula, a 19-year-old footballer.

This season, for Darmstadt, Isac Lidberg - valued at €5 million - has already made 30 official appearances: 27 in Bundesliga 2 and three in the DFB-Pokal.
