According to A BOLA, Benfica will seek a solution for Dodi Lukebakio at the end of the season, which could involve a permanent sale or a loan with an option to buy. Any deal will be complicated by the high investment in the signing, as Benfica paid €20 million to Sevilla last summer. Lukebakio's participation in the World Cup could contribute to a solution. However, Dodi Lukebakio has not yet been contacted by anyone from the professional football structure regarding his future. He currently has no plans to leave.

Jose Mourinho is not satisfied with the performances of 28-year-old Belgian winger Dodi Lukebakio, Enzo Barrenechea, Georgiy Sudakov, and Rafa. Mourinho is not pleased with the attitude of these four players. Mourinho stated that he does not want to play some players at the moment, but even if he does not want to continue with some of them, it may be easier to increase their value rather than decrease it. Benfica paid approximately 40 million Euro for Sudakov and Lukebakio at the start of the season. Lukebakio, who has 29 caps and 5 goals for Belgium, joined Benfica on 01/09/2025 and has a contract until 30/06/2030. In the current 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, he has made 11 appearances, contributing 5 assists but scoring no goals. His current market value is €20.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
