Sevilla sets price for Lukebakio: Benfica pursues his signing.

Benfica has become one of the main candidates to secure the signing of Dodi Lukebakio, the winger from Sevilla FC, who has been offered to the Portuguese club for a figure close to 30 million euros. The operation is ongoing and could be resolved in the coming hours, as the Sevillian entity is seeking immediate liquidity towards the end of the summer transfer market.

Sevilla needs to sell Lukebakio

In Nervión, it is considered that a sale of Dodi Lukebakio would help alleviate the club's financial pressure and provide room to restructure the squad. The Belgian arrived with high expectations, but his performance has been marked by inconsistency. In the last season, he played 34 official matches, scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists, figures that did not entirely convince the coaching staff.

Although his release clause amounts to 45 million, the reality is that Sevilla is willing to accept an offer close to 30 million, aware that the player is unlikely to reach that value at another time.

Benfica, attentive to the opportunity

Benfica sees Dodi Lukebakio as an attractive reinforcement to boost their attacking line. Sources in Portugal assure that the Lisbon club would be ready to present an offer between 25 and 30 million, aligned with the new conditions of the Belgian's contract, whose clause will officially be reduced to 30 million starting September 2nd.

Beyond the price, there are other elements that could complicate the transfer. On one hand, Dodi Lukebakio has a 10% share of what might be generated in a hypothetical agreement, which could reduce the net profit for Sevilla. On the other hand, the club hopes that the player will waive part of that sum to facilitate the operation.

Moreover, Benfica is not the only one interested in the forward. Over the past few weeks, Milan explored the possibility of signing him, although the discussions did not progress. The advantage for the Portuguese lies in the good institutional relationship with Sevilla, which could also be sealed with parallel movements such as the sale of the young Carlos Álvarez, of whom the Andalusians retain 40% of the rights.

Dodi Lukebakio's future seems to be moving further away from the Sánchez-Pizjuán. If Benfica finalizes the operation, the Belgian will embark on a new stage in his career after playing in leagues like the Bundesliga and LaLiga.

For Sevilla, the sale would not only mean an economic boost but also the opportunity to rebuild a sporting project in need of rejuvenation after several irregular seasons.
