Fulham centre-back Jorge Cuenca is set to join Benfica in a €15m deal, according to reports. The 26-year-old Spaniard has been tracked by Benfica for months and fits their profile to strengthen the middle of defence. Cuenca has been a key player for Fulham in recent seasons, making 22 appearances in the 2025/26 campaign. He has been an important part of Marco Silva's squad and his departure will be a significant loss for the London club. Benfica are looking to strengthen their defence after Nicolás Otamendi's departure to River Plate and Cuenca's arrival will be a major boost. The agreement is described as advanced and could be completed soon, with only minor details to resolve. Cuenca previously came through Barcelona's system and has also played for Villarreal, Getafe, and Almería before joining Fulham. He will now be set for a new chapter with Benfica, working again with Marco Silva.
