Sunday 18-01-2026
Portuguese club Benfica continues its serious moves in the winter transfer market, engaging in ongoing negotiations with the management of Saudi club Al-Nassr to sign the young Brazilian winger Wesley Teixeira.

Portuguese and international press reports revealed that the negotiations have entered an advanced stage, as part of Benfica's efforts to strengthen its squad ahead of the second half of the current season.

The Portuguese newspaper "A Bola" confirmed that Benfica has opened official negotiations with Al-Nassr to discuss the details of acquiring Wesley during the January 2026 transfer window.

Wesley Teixeira is 20 years old and plays as a left winger. He has attracted attention for his high technical skills and promising performance with his team.

On Al-Nassr's side, the club does not object to the player's departure, as Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus has approved the transfer to allow the opportunity to sign a new foreign professional.

The financial aspects remain the most significant obstacle in the deal, as Benfica is waiting for Al-Nassr to finalize the required payment to officially close the negotiations.

The data indicates that the coming days may witness a decisive development, amid a mutual desire from both parties to complete the deal during the winter period.
