Abner Vinícius' future at Lyon appears uncertain, with the French club reportedly open to a transfer for the left-back. He joined from Betis in 2024 for €8 million and is now valued at €10 million.
According to Sport in France, Benfica is among the clubs monitoring Abner. Despite a decent season, where he made 36 appearances, scoring five goals and providing three assists, he is considered available for transfer.
His versatility was evident, as he was deployed as a right winger when the team was hit by injuries.
Not called up for the World Cup by Carlo Ancelotti, Abner won't have an international showcase to impress, but Benfica is said to have already gathered information on the player, who is under contract with the French side until 2029.
A four-time senior international for Brazil, with his last cap in 2024, the 26-year-old Abner was previously scouted by Benfica in 2023 while still at Athletico Paranaense, before his move to Betis.
