Benfica could be on the verge of bolstering their B team's attack. According to American journalist Tom Bogert and reports from the Tunisian press, 18-year-old Anisse Saidi is headed to the Eagles.
The 18-year-old striker is expected to join Benfica on loan from San Diego FC. The deal reportedly includes an option to buy, as per Tom Bogert. The Tunisia U-17 international made his senior debut for the MLS side in March 2025, at just 16 years old.
Anisse Saidi played four matches for the first team in 2026 before being loaned out in May to Monterey Bay, where he currently plays. The young forward scored one goal in seven appearances for the USL club.
Saidi was born in the United States but also holds Tunisian citizenship. The 18-year-old forward represented the African nation at the U-17 World Cup in 2025.
