The 20-year-old, who has also been linked with Juventus and Inter, will cost Benfica a reported €4.5million.
“I am very happy to know of the interest of a club like Benfica, Portugal’s largest and one of the largest in the world. For any Brazilian player, playing in Europe and in this case, Benfica, is a dream,” the forward was recently quoted as saying by A Bola.
“I’m not very mobile and players like that are more appreciated in Brazil. However, I think I have the quality to do well in the style of football played in Europe. I just ask for an opportunity to show my value, and it is happening right now.”
Benfica will terminate the loan deal of Barcelona starlet Keirrison due to the arrival of Kardec.
