Watching the market, Mário Branco knows Benfica’s target profiles | OneFootball

Benfica are already preparing a list of potential targets ahead of the opening of the transfer window. After making the signing of a centre-back a priority, the Lisbon club, according to what the press is reporting, has more positions it wants to strengthen, with Rui Costa defining the profiles he wants.

According to Record, Benfica’s wishlist does not stop at defence. All signs point to the Eagles also entering the market for a transitional midfielder. According to the same source, the desired profile is a box-to-box player, capable of moving quickly between defence and attack.

In addition to a midfielder, the Eagles, already preparing for Bruma’s departure, likely to the Middle East, are also looking to sign a natural winger. That position was one of the team’s main problems in the season that has recently come to an end, with a lack of concrete options in the squad.

However, as the sports daily explained, Benfica are only expected to sign more players depending on the volume of sales made during the summer. In other words, the Eagles are financially limited due to their absence from the Champions League, after missing out on second place in the league.
