Benfica had been prepared to pay €20 million for Rodrigo Zalazar, a 26-year-old Uruguayan central midfielder from Braga, but that information is no longer current. The player will instead transfer to Sporting, a club within the Portuguese league, for €30 million. The operation is described as being practically closed. In a separate transaction, Diogo Travassos will move to Braga. Zalazar has 7 caps and 2 goals for Uruguay. He transferred from Schalke to Braga in July 2023 for a reported fee of €6 million. In 2025, there were reports of offers in the range of €20-22 million.
