Benfica need to make decision on Amdouni

Zeki Amdouni joined Benfica during the summer transfer window on loan from Burnley for the season and now as the season winds down, Benfica will need to make a decision in May if they are to trigger the buy clause that is part of the agreement with Burnley.

Benfica paid €2M to Burnley for the loan move of the 26 year old Swiss international and it will cost the club €18M to make the move permanent if the club decides to retain the services of Amdouni for next season.

Amdouni has been a regular with Benfica, with the majority of his minutes coming in the role of a substitute but has contributed eight goals and provided three helpers in 1,213 minutes across all competitions.

Benfica staff have been happy with the contributions made by Amdouni this season but will need to make a decision if the price tag makes sense for the club moving forward. 

Benfica may be open into renegotiating the cost of the purchase with Burnley who paid €18.6M to Basel in the summer of 2023 to acquire Amdouni.
