According to information from Nilson Angulo's country, the Anderlecht player is attracting the interest of Benfica, which has reportedly received information about him. The left-winger recently renewed his contract with Anderlecht until June 2029 and is considered one of the club's most important assets. As reported in Belgium, only a substantial amount can transfer the player from the club in January. Belgian media also report the possibility of an exit but state that Anderlecht prefers to negotiate for the player at the end of the season.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Benfica, which is associated with José Mourinho, is interested in Nilson Angulo. Anderlecht does not want to sell in the upcoming winter transfer window and hopes Angulo's market value will increase after the 2026 World Cup. The club will only be willing to consider offers in the summer.

According to media in Ecuador, José Mourinho has developed a strong interest in the 22-year-old Ecuadorian international Nilson Angulo. Benfica is looking for a winger for the left flank, and Angulo is one of the options. Angulo joined Anderlecht in July 2022, and according to Ecuadorian media, the club is not willing to cooperate with a transfer in January. They are only willing to consider it starting next summer if a suitable offer is made. The club hopes that by then, Angulo's market value will have increased significantly. Angulo has a contract until mid-2029. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is 4.5 million euros. The player's transfer value is not the same and is currently about three times higher. Peter Verbeke brought Angulo to RSCA for 1.9 million euros. His former club, LDU Quito, will receive 30% of the profit from any future transfer. In 14 Jupiler Pro League appearances this season, Angulo has scored 2 goals and provided 7 assists. The winger has 12 caps and one goal for Ecuador. Several Spanish clubs, including Villarreal and Sevilla, have also been linked with him.
