Benfica decided to strengthen their squad just at the deadline making three moves to their main squad in the past 24 hours.
Benfica first added another striker, this time going with a veteran attacker in Como's 31 year old Andrea Belotti who arrived on loan to the club for the remainder of the season. The Euro 2020 winner has had a tough couple of years as he has battled injuries and form but Benfica are hoping he can find his goal scoring days while at Torino.
Next up, Benfica made a surprising move in acquiring Braga winger Bruma for €6.5M and signing him until the summer of 2028. Bruma has been a key contributor at Braga this season appearing in 31 games across all competitions, he has scored 12 goals while providing 9 helpers and Benfica will hope to see the 30 year old continue his great form while at the club.
Benfica finished the day adding some depth at the left back position with the acquisition from Roma of Samuel Dahl on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy for €8M. Dahl has not seen much action with Roma having appeared in only 240 minutes of action.
Look for Benfica to make a couple of subtractions from the squad with other countries transfer windows still open. The likely players to depart are striker Arthur Cabral and winger Benjamin Rollheiser who have interest from a host of Brazilian clubs.
