Dodi Lukebakio Set for Transfer as Offers Pour in Ahead of Deadline Day

Dodi Lukebakio might leave Sevilla before the transfer window closes. Benfica, Stuttgart, and two Premier League clubs are very interested in him. Sevilla expects offers soon, and Lukebakio’s future could be decided shortly.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Sevilla winger Dodi Lukebakio is wanted by several teams as the transfer window ends. Stuttgart has contacted Sevilla directly, and two Premier League clubs are also interested. Benfica is preparing a €30 million offer, which is three times what Sevilla paid in 2023. Lukebakio has scored one goal in two matches this season. Despite being important to the team, Sevilla is considering offers because of financial difficulties.

BIGGER CONTEXT: TEAMS AND PLAYER’S FORM

Sevilla finished 17th in La Liga last season and are currently struggling in the early rounds of the 2025-26 season, sitting in 18th place with no points won so far. The club has sold key players like Loïc Badé and Adson Idumbo to balance their finances. Lukebakio, 27, has 27 caps for Belgium and is one of Sevilla’s best players. He scored six La Liga goals last year and was useful in European games. Benfica wants him for the Champions League and is leading the race. Stuttgart, in the middle of the Bundesliga, wants to improve their team. Arsenal has been watching Lukebakio, but it’s unclear if they are talking to Sevilla now.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

The transfer deadline is on Monday, so clubs must act fast. Sevilla will play Girona next in La Liga. For Lukebakio, a transfer might mean playing in the Champions League or moving to the Premier League. His decision will likely come at the last moment as offers come in this weekend.
