Benfica has opened negotiations to sign Alessandro Circati, a 22-year-old Australian centre-back, from Parma. The Italian club has set an asking price of at least 25 million euros for a player whose contract runs until June 2029, while Transfermarkt currently values him at 18 million euros. After recovering from a serious knee injury that sidelined him for an entire season, Circati has become one of the most consistent defenders in Serie A since Parma’s promotion to Italy’s top flight. Juventus and AC Milan are also among the clubs tracking the player. With 17 caps and one goal for the Socceroos, Circati has established himself as a key figure for Australia ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
