Benfica is preparing for a blockbuster signing: a 19-year-old Polish forward is on the radar of the Eagles!
The transfer market is buzzing, and Benfica does not want to stand still. According to reliable sources from the Polish press, the Lisbon club is accelerating negotiations to secure Marcel Regula, a young prodigy of just 19 years from Zagłębie Lubin, a team currently in fifth place in the Polish league. The forward has impressed with 6 goals and 3 assists in 27 matches this season, in addition to showcasing remarkable performance with the Poland U21 national team, where he has 2 goals and 1 assist in 7 qualifying matches for the European Championship.
Marcel Regula, who primarily plays as a striker but can also operate on the wings, has attracted interest from major European clubs, with Roma also being mentioned as a possible destination. However, it is Benfica that appears to be taking decisive steps to secure his signing.
Journalist Mateusz Borek, a credible voice in the Polish sports landscape, revealed exclusive information to Sports Channel: “This weekend, a large delegation from Lubin will be going to Lisbon. Quickly, Marcel Regula, one of the club’s biggest prospects, could become a player for Benfica. There is a lot of interest.” The trip by the officials from Zagłębie Lubin to Portugal promises to be decisive for the outcome of this transfer, which is set to shake up the market.
Sources indicate that Benfica’s interest has intensified thanks to the recommendation of scout Bartłomiej Kubica, who has been closely monitoring the young forward’s development. Regula’s valuation has also increased through his performances with the under-21 national team, where he has shown quality and potential to establish himself in European football.
As for the figures, the deal could be situated between 8 and 10 million euros, an amount that aligns with the values transacted in recent deals involving Polish players, such as Pietuszewski, who moved to FC Porto.
This potential signing fits into Benfica’s clear strategy of investing in promising young talents capable of integrating into the first team in the short term or for future valuation in the market. Polish football is gaining more and more prominence, and Marcel Regula could be the next great gem to wear the eagle on his chest.
Stay tuned: in the coming days, this transfer could be confirmed, and Benfica may make a masterstroke in the market by securing a forward with enormous potential to strengthen their attack and continue fighting for titles in Portugal and Europe.
