Sèrge Aurier, a seasoned Ivorian right-back and captain of the national team, has been suggested as a potential addition to Benfica. Having departed from Nottingham Forest and after a brief period at Galatasaray, Aurier is currently unattached to any club. Benfica is considering his profile as a possible reinforcement for their right-back position, particularly in light of injuries within their squad. As a free agent, Aurier has the flexibility to be signed at any point during the season. In the meantime, he has been maintaining his fitness with Nice, while awaiting the chance to return to competitive football.
