Benfica eye January move for Bayern’s Raphaël Guerreiro

Benfica are reportedly exploring a January move for Bayern Munich’s Raphaël Guerreiro, with José Mourinho keen on bringing the experienced Portuguese international to Lisbon.

Benfica Lisbon are reportedly considering a move for Bayern Munich’s Raphaël Guerreiro in the upcoming January transfer window, with José Mourinho expressing admiration for the versatile Portuguese international.

Guerreiro, who has openly admitted that he is a “big Benfica fan,” could be tempted by the opportunity to feature more regularly in Mourinho’s squad. While he is not a guaranteed starter at Bayern Munich, he remains highly valued by Vincent Kompany, who appreciates his experience and contributions at the top level.

Mourinho’s interest is thought to stem from Guerreiro’s tactical versatility and wealth of experience in domestic and European competitions. A move to Benfica could provide Guerreiro with more consistent playing time while reuniting him with Portuguese football and offering the chance to contribute to one of the country’s biggest clubs.

No official offer has been confirmed yet, but the transfer speculation underscores Benfica’s intent to strengthen their squad mid-season and add depth in defensive and midfield positions.
