Less than 24 hours before the closing of the transfer market, Benfica is very close to securing another reinforcement for Bruno Lage's squad. As it has been established, the eagles have reached an agreement with Sevilla for the signing of Dodi Lukebakio and some details about the Belgian are already known.

Through his official account on social network X, Fabrizio Romano reported the deal between the Club of Light and the Seville emblem, stating that there is a total agreement between the two parties. In the same post, the journalist reveals that the number 10 of the Sevillians is sealed and will sign a contract valid until 2030.

However, the transalpine specialist does not stop there and implies that the Belgian forward, who plays as a right winger, is traveling to Lisbon today, in time to undergo the usual medical examinations, in order to get the green light to sign the contract with his new club, in this case Benfica.

The fact that the reds have secured the player, despite the values demanded by Sevilla having ‘scared’ them, indicates that something may not have gone well in the negotiations with Levante for Carlos Álvarez. The latest known information about the deal is that the Club of Light, with Rui Costa at the helm, has made an offer reaching 15 million euros for the 22-year-old winger.

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