Benfica do not want to waste time in this transfer market and are already working hard to prepare their squad for next season. The Portuguese side are very close to closing both a purchase and a sale. They would be looking at Ukraine and Brazil.
Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specialising in the transfer window, has claimed that the Portuguese side recently reached an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk to sign David Neres, a former Ajax player who will sign until 2027.
At the same time, Benfica would have finally given up on Everton, who would be transferred to Flamengo for around 13 million euros. The Brazilian completed his second season with the Portuguese side in 2022 after having excelled at Gremio.
Meanwhile, Neres will land in the Portuguese nation after an unsuccessful spell with the Ukrainian side, where he failed to make his debut in an official match. He only played seven games, all of them friendlies. The competition was influenced by the ongoing conflict with Russia.
