Benfica emerge in race for Roma left back Dahl

Benfica have entered the race for Roma left back Samuel Dahl, as according to Gianluca Di Marzio the Lisbon side have moved into the front runners spot to land the 21 year old Swedish wing back before the transfer window closes.

Benfica need some depth at left back after selling Jan-Niklas Beste, late last week to Freiburg in Germany and currently only have Alvaro Fernandez who plays the position naturally. Benfica are open to a loan move for Dahl with an option to buy.

Dahl arrived at Roma in the summer of 2024 but has not seen many minutes since his arrival appearing in only 240 minutes of action across all competitions. Benfica are in competition with Besiktas for the player's signature but their place in the Champions League looks to have tilted the player in their favour.
