Sergio Arribas is very close to joining Benfica, with the operation directly depending on the departure of Belgian international Dodi Lukebakio, which will allow the red-and-white club to have the necessary funds to complete the signing of the 24-year-old Spanish player.
Almería, the player's club of origin, reported that Arribas missed the team's training session this Tuesday, with just a few hours left before the transfer window closes. The information was reported by journalist Javier Góngora from Diario de Almería, and represents an indicator that the deal may be about to be finalized.
The Spanish left-winger had an outstanding season playing for Almería in the Spanish Segunda División, having featured in 42 matches and recording 32 direct goal contributions, which reveals an exceptional level of productivity for the competition.
Arribas is described as a markedly offensive player, capable of playing as a creative midfielder or inside forward on the right side, presenting a profile that Benfica's structure aims to incorporate into their attacking playbook for the current season.
