Benfica is standing firm about keeping Benjamin Rollheiser and they turned down loan offers from Brazilian clubs. The Argentine winger’s ability to play different positions and his worth in the market makes him really important for what Benfica wants to do which has affected Brazilian clubs who wanted to make their teams better with players from other countries.

  • Benfica said no to all the loan offers for Rollheiser from Brazilian clubs including Botafogo.
  • Rollheiser came to Benfica on July 1, 2024 and has become a real important part of the team.
  • People think he’s worth about €10 million which shows how much Benfica values him.

The way Rollheiser plays shows Benfica made the right choice keeping him and he looks like he’ll be real important for the team going forward. Since he used to play for Argentina U23 he knows what he’s doing and brings a lot of skill with him. His contract with Benfica goes until 2029 which shows they think he’ll be good for them for a long time.
