Chelsea central defender Tosin Adarabioyo could be set to continue his professional career in Portugal.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing the Correio da Manhã publication, that the 28-year-old footballer has emerged as a primary transfer target for Benfica.
Sources indicate that Benfica head coach Marco Silva is personally interested in securing the defender's services. The two previously worked together at the English club Fulham, a connection that is widely considered a significant factor that could facilitate the potential transfer.
Adarabioyo, known for his physical presence and aerial ability, has been a notable figure in English football. During the previous season, he made 29 appearances across all competitions, contributing two goals. His potential move to the Portuguese Primeira Liga would mark a significant shift in his career trajectory, as he seeks more consistent playing time.
It should be noted that the defender’s current contract with Chelsea runs until the summer of 2028. According to the specialized portal Transfermarkt, the experienced player's current market value is estimated at 16 million euros.
