Wynder leaves Benfica and heads to the MLS

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo2 September 2026 at 19:31

The 21-year-old American center-back Wynder leaves Benfica to head to Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States. The young player was at Benfica but could not establish himself in the Portuguese club's first team.

Wynder will play on loan at New England Revolution, an MLS club. This transfer represents an opportunity for the defender to continue his professional development in a league that has been growing in competitiveness.

The loan allows the player to accumulate regular playing time, something that would hardly happen at Benfica. New England Revolution hope to benefit from the young American's defensive abilities during the season.
