Benfica? Sevilla chief on Lukebakio: “There’s nothing…” | OneFootball

As we enter the final 48 hours of the summer transfer window, Benfica is racing against time to secure a right winger. Among the options on the table, the Eagles are following the trail of Dodi Lukebakio, a player currently on Sevilla's roster. In light of the interest in the Belgian, Navarro commented on the current stance of the Spanish club.

When confronted about Sevilla's current situation, which has yet to register its new signings, the executive opened up about Lukebakio and Rúben Vargas: “In the end... Today they are Sevilla players. They are great players and have attracted the interest of major clubs, but there is nothing official.”

In a statement to DAZN, the Sevilla executive added that, given the club's financial needs and the La Liga regulations for registering players, he assures that he will not give up the main assets: “They are current members of Sevilla's squad. Our intention is to keep the best players until the close of the transfer window.”

Asked once again whether the target—who is on Benfica's radar—will stay at the club, Navarro chose not to elaborate on the situation of the two players in question: “As is happening at almost every club, we will accelerate until the last minute. Starting this Sunday, we will have 48 hours to close the window and we hope to finish with a better squad than we had before.”

Dodi Lukebakio is seen as one of Sevilla's most influential players in recent seasons. In the current sports season, the right winger—valued at 20 million euros—has played in two official matches, both in La Liga. In the 180 minutes he was on the pitch, the number 10 scored one goal.
