The Swedish full-back comes from two convincing performances in Portugal and one in the Champions League as a substitute against Monaco.
In January, he decided to bid (temporarily) Rome farewell, seeking more playing time during a key moment in his career. His performance in Portugal has already won everyone over. Samuel Dahl, a full-back born in 2003 and arrived in the summer from the Swedish championship, was lined up as a starter in yesterday’s match against Boavista. His performance did not go unnoticed: 94% pass accuracy (48/51), 4 key passes, earned 1 penalty, suffered 3 fouls and won 6 out of 8 duels. Record-breaking numbers that have particularly enthralled fans of Benfica who take to social media to express their excitement: “He is really a great player,” “It’s impressive, I think he will like it here“, as well as “Benfica will pay the ransom, he is a good player“. Dahl flew to Lisbon on a burdensome loan (600,000 euros) and a buy-out clause set at 10 million in addition to a 20% on a future resale. Therefore, everything will depend on the will of the Portuguese club. However, if they continue on this level, the redemption would merely become a formality.
