Portuguese midfielder João Mário, 26, could move to Benfica as part of a rumored loan swap deal with Juventus. The potential exchange would involve Andreas Schjelderup moving to the Turin club. João Mário has made 9 appearances and provided one assist in Serie A this season. He joined Juventus from FC Porto in the summer in a transaction that involved Alberto Costa moving to FC Porto. The three-time Portugal international has a contract that runs until 2030, and his current market value is €8.50m, according to Transfermarkt. Crystal Palace have also been linked with the player. Some January 2026 reports valued a potential transfer at approximately €11 million. His move from Porto in July 2025 was for a fee of €12.6 million.
