Dodi Lukebakio is expected to be officially announced by Benfica in the coming hours, costing 20 million euros, plus 4 million in add-ons.

Dodi Lukebakio arrived in Lisbon this Monday and will indeed become a Benfica signing. In his first statements on Portuguese soil, the right winger, who will cost 20 million plus 4 in add-ons, expressed his excitement at signing for the Club of Light and promised to give his all on the pitch.

"I know that Benfica is a top club. Of course I am very happy, but I don’t want to say much because I have a lot to do", Dodi Lukebakio began when asked about what he knew about Benfica. The player was one of Bruno Lage’s requests for the final hours of this transfer window.

The right winger, whose signing was finalized in the early hours of Monday, arrives to fill the gap left by Di María—who returned to Rosario Central in Argentina—and left a brief message for the fans of the Club of Light: "I am excited".

Lukebakio will cost Benfica 20 million euros, with an additional 4 million euros depending on the achievement of certain objectives. After completing his medical exams, the 27-year-old footballer, coming from Sevilla, is expected to sign a contract valid for five seasons.

Dodi Lukebakio has been 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.
