Benfica is analyzing the possibility of signing Sergio Arribas, a player from Almería, in a deal that will be directly dependent on the sale of Dodi Lukebakio. The Belgian winger is the asset that the encarnados management wants to sell to finance the arrival of the Spanish creative player to the Luz, in a transfer market that is approaching its close.
Sergio Arribas is 24 years old and caught Benficas interest after an outstanding season in LaLiga 2, the second tier of Spanish football. In 42 matches for Almería, the player recorded 32 direct goal contributions, numbers that placed him among the most productive players in the competition last season.
Arribas's profile is markedly offensive, being capable of playing as a creative midfielder or as an inside forward on the right side. This tactical versatility increases his value for Benfica, who are looking for offensive options for the next season.
