Benfica has permanently secured the services of Samuel Dahl.
Here Comes the Fresh Catch!
Benfica Snags Samuel Dahl for 2025 and Beyond
Kick off your football shoes and grab some popcorn, folks! Benfica, the mighty reds, have snatched up a fresh talent for the upcoming seasons. 22-year-old sensation, Samuel Dahl, has inked a contract up until June 2029. Here's the scoop!
Dahl joined our beloved Luz in January 2025, migrating from the Italians over at Roma. But this ain't just a temporary stint; it's an all-in commitment. Nine smackeroos have been tossed Roma's way, split up across three easy-breezy installments.
Buckle up, though, because there's more! An additional two cool million and change could be on the line, depending on Benfica's title-winning prowess and a stellar performance in the Champions League. Sounds like we're in for a wild ride!
Initially, Dahl was slated to join the Club World Cup in Benfica's service. But after careful thought, the board helmed by Rui Cota advanced the deal and made it a permanent one, beefing up our squad for the seasons ahead.
Fun fact alert! With Dahl, Benfica now boasts no less than eight Swedish warriors, following in the footsteps of Stromberg, Mats Magnusson, Jonas Thern, Stefan Schwarz, Martin Pringle, Anders Andersson, and Victor Lindelof. Speaking of Lindelof, he happened to be honed by the same club as Dahl, Vasteras!
Now, you might've heard some chatter about Dahl joining Benfica way back in 2021. Fact-check time: that's a tall tale, folks! Dahl firmly joined AS Roma in 2024, and only migrated to Benfica in February 2025 on a loan deal, with the purchase going permanent in June 2025.
Since joining Benfica, Dahl has racked up 18 appearances with a swaggy six assists and earned his second cap for Sweden against Luxembourg in March 2025. Looks like we've got a keeper on our hands! Strap in for a tasty season filled with..."Go Benfica!"
Samuel Dahl, the 22-year-old football star, will join the sports division of Benfica, the mighty reds, in January 2025, permanently enhancing their football lineup for the upcoming seasons. Following his impressive performances with AS Roma, Benfica has agreed to pay a transfer fee of nine million euros, paid in three installments, with potential bonus payments dependent on Benfica's accomplishments in the Champions League.
