Jan-Niklas Beste leaving Heidenheim?

Jan-Niklas Beste makes a surprising move to Benfica Lissabon.

Last June, Al-Duhail from Qatar put €15M on the table and the German club accepted the offer, but it was the German international himself who refused to move to that country.

Jan-Niklas Beste is set to move from Heidenheim to Benfica Lissabon. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Beste is already in Portugal to undergo a medical examination. He is expected to sign a five-year contract. This move would allow Beste to play under coach Roger Schmidt and participate in the Champions League for the first time in his career.

Jan-Niklas Beste is sought after. Clubs like Villarreal, CFC Genoa 1893, Galatasaray and Everton have shown interest. No wonder, given his strong season with eight goals and 13 assists. It will be very difficult for Heidenheim to keep him. The FCH is trying, of course. Beste has already received an offer for an early extension of his contract valid until 2025.

Jan Niklas Beste, the left winger of the surprising German Heidenheim, has attracted attention both within and outside the Bundesliga for his performance. About to enter his last year of contract, Beste is considering a change of scenery and has attracted the attention of a Spanish football that increasingly wants to get closer to the vertical game that Germany proposes to raise its competitive ceiling in Europe. Valued at 15 million euros, Heidenheim asks for a significantly lower amount to prevent the third highest assistant in the Bundesliga from leaving for free in the summer of 2025.
