Benfica interested in Twente utility man Regeer

Benfica will be back in the market when the winter transfer window opens as they look to shore up the right back position and Twente's swiss army knife Youri Regeer is in the Lisbon sides sight lines.

With the constant injuries to starting right back Alexander Bah (who is injured again) the club is looking for a reliable alternate option to the right back position as the club do not feel that current loanee Issa Kabore is up to the task and Benfica will look to end his loan move from Man City in January.

The 21 year old Regeer is able to play a variety of positions from right back to central and defensive midfielder. The club was originally linked to the Dutch U21 international when Roger Schmidt was on the sideline but no deal materialized during that time.

Regeer came up through Ajax's youth system and was acquired by Twente in the summer of 2023. Regeer has appeared in 17 games across all competitions for a total of 1,328 minutes but has yet to register a goal, he has provided three helpers during this span.

Look for Benfica to kick the tires on Regeer in January and a host of other potential right backs as they look to find a right back for the right price.
