Sergio Arribas Transfer from Almería to Benfica
According to Portuguese sources, Sergio Arribas is of interest to Benfica. Arribas has not trained with Almería, which has caused concern about his possible departure today. Sergio Arribas has a release clause of 40 million euros, but Benfica is not willing to pay this amount. The Portuguese club has an advantage as the transfer market in Portugal closes on September 4, which could allow them to exert pressure on the transfer. Almería would not be able to sign a replacement for Arribas after 23:59 today, as the Spanish market closes tonight. Real Madrid holds 50% of Arribas's rights and would receive half of any potential transfer fee. Real Madrid also has a buy-back option but is not considering it.

Sergio Arribas, a 24-year-old Spanish playmaker for UD Almería, has an excellent reputation in Portugal, with both Sporting CP and Benfica monitoring him. Ajax also continues to show interest in the playmaker. In recent weeks, clubs from Italy and some from the English Premier League have also expressed interest, while Spanish clubs are also monitoring him closely. Almería's asking price was previously twenty million euros, but due to his performances, this amount is no longer current and will at least be the starting point for negotiations. A transfer is now considered less certain than it was a few months ago, especially if Almería achieves promotion. Arribas, who joined the club in August 2023, is under contract until June 2029. Recent reports from April 2026 mention a €40 million release clause. In March 2026, Almería reportedly hoped to receive at least €25 million and rejected a reported €20 million offer from Sporting CP during the same month.
