Benfica have no plans to add center back in January

Benfica will be looking to make some moves when the January transfer window opens but one of the positions that the club is happy with is the center back position. The club currently have four center backs that are all international players with their respective countries in club captain Nicolas Otamendi, Antonio Silva, Tomas Araujo and Adrian Bajrami.

Although rumours are swirling that River Plate would like to add Otamendi in January, the club has no interest in moving on from the 36 year old during the season and will make a decision on how they will proceed with the upcoming free agent in regards to next season.

Antonio Silva and Tomas Araujo, both have the interest of some of Europe's bigger clubs but the UEFA Youth League championship duo should be the club's number one and number two options for the starting XI for at least a couple of years to come.

The newest addition to the group is Albanian Adrian Bajrami, the 22 year old has come up through Benfica's youth teams since 2018 and has yet to appear in a game with the senior side but the team holds the center back in high regard and we should see more of Bajrami as he moves up the club's depth chart.
