Sporting team news

Following Gyokeres' departure, are yet to find a suitable replacement in the attacking department.

Additionally, Dario Essugo has moved to Chelsea, and Geovany Quenda is expected to follow him in 2026. This creates a significant void in the number nine position, leaving Francisco Trincao as the next best option in attack.

Additionally, Nuno Santos and Daniel Braganca will continue to be out of action due to injuries from last season.

Benfica team news

With Alvaro Carreras’ transfer to Real Madrid, Benfica are also eyeing a replacement for Angel Di Maria. Meanwhile, Amar Dedic, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Rios have all joined the club this summer.

Having missed the Club World Cup, defensive duo Alexander Bah and Tomas Araujo continue to recover from their respective injuries.
