Benfica targets Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo

Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo is the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Portuguese club Benfica identified as a primary suitor. Benfica manager Marco Silva, who previously coached Adarabioyo at Fulham, is reportedly keen on a reunion.

Benfica is interested in a loan deal that includes an option to purchase, a move that could help Chelsea comply with financial regulations. While other clubs like Como and Strasbourg have been linked to the 28-year-old, the prospect of working under Silva makes the Lisbon-based club a significant destination.

Adarabioyo's future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain following a pre-season tour in Asia and Australia. Despite playing 90 minutes in a recent 3-3 draw against Johor Darul Ta’zim, he is perceived to be lower in the squad hierarchy under manager Xabi Alonso. Chelsea appears open to a sale or loan to manage their squad and financial standing.
