With the transfer market closed, Diogo Luís analyzed Benfica's performance in the summer window, criticizing both the arrivals and departures of the red-and-white club. The commentator left particularly pointed criticism aimed at Dodi Lukebakio, a player who remained in the squad after the market closed.
In Diogo Luís's opinion, the Belgian international has not yet shown on the pitch the expected performance given Benfica's investment. The commentator wrote in A Bola newspaper that Lukebakio "does not show the commitment that the coach demands," referring to the player's high salary.
Diogo Luís acknowledged that Lukebakio may be important in some Portuguese league matches, but considered that his salary should guarantee a player capable of making a difference in every game.
Benfica strengthened the squad with names like João Palhinha, Clément Lenglet and Claudio Echeverri, but for Diogo Luís, none of these players represents Rui Costa's main signing in the summer window.
