What Benfica needs to do in Winter Transfer Window

With the winter transfer window now officially open, Benfica will look to make some minor moves to the squad while resisting making any player sales during this period.

Benfica coach Bruno Lage feels that the current squad has the right pieces to claim the Portuguese League crown and if the club is to look at a move it would be at the right back position, with the club ending the loan of Man City right back Issa Kabore early.

Lage could also look to the Seixal academy to add a player to back up current starter Alexander Bah, with the names of Leandro Santos and Diogo Spencer being mentioned.

Benfica may also look at a winger to provide some relief for 36 year old  Angel di Maria. The club is still competing in four competitions at the moment and would like to manage Di Maria's minutes, so that they continue to get the best from the player.

The winter transfer window will remain open until February 5th, 2025.
