Beşiktaş has become interested in Rio Ave's 23-year-old André Luiz. This interest comes while Benfica is also attempting to sign the player, though a deal has not been reached with Rio Ave as the clubs are yet to agree on a fee. It is reported that the Brazilian winger is keen on a move to Benfica, but his current club is looking to maximize the transfer fee, having initially asked for approximately €15 million. In the current 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, André Luiz has recorded 5 goals and 6 assists in 15 appearances. His contract with the Portuguese club runs until June 2029, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €4.00m. Rio Ave signed the player in January 2025 for a fee reported to be €2.2 million.
