View Arsenal summer 2026 transfer targets
Arsenal are reportedly set to sell Reiss Nelson to Benfica in a deal worth around €3 million, with the Portuguese club having made an offer for the player.
BBC Sport reported on Wednesday that Benfica’s proposal has put the transfer on course, with Arsenal expected to accept a fee in the region of €3m. The move would take Nelson from Arsenal to Portugal, provided the remaining steps in the transfer process are completed.
For Arsenal, the reported sale would bring clarity over Nelson’s immediate future and generate a modest fee. The figure under discussion suggests the club are prepared to sanction an exit rather than allow the situation to continue unresolved, while Benfica appear to have moved decisively by submitting an offer.
From Benfica’s perspective, the prospective deal looks like a relatively low-cost addition. The reported price leaves room for the Portuguese side to secure the player without making a major outlay, although no further details have been reported regarding personal terms, a medical or the timing of any formal announcement.
The transfer has not been presented as formally complete, but the wording of the report indicates that Arsenal will sell Nelson to Benfica after the offer from the Portuguese club. That points to the deal being close, even if confirmation from the clubs is still required before it can be treated as official.
Nelson’s potential departure would now appear to rest on the final formalities. Benfica are positioned to secure the signing for around €3m if the deal proceeds as reported, while Arsenal are set to move the player on for a fee rather than keep him at the club.
