Tidiane Vibert: Benfica linked with move for Saint-Etienne teenager

French-Senegalese striker Tidiane Vibert is being linked with a move from Saint-Etienne Under-19s to Benfica.

Vibert, 16, currently plays in France’s National U19 Group D with Saint-Etienne’s youth side. The reported destination is Benfica, whose senior team competes in Portugal’s Liga Portugal.

The rumour concerns a move for a young forward who remains part of Saint-Etienne’s academy setup. No transfer has been confirmed, and there is no indication that Vibert has yet moved beyond youth football at his current club.

The potential switch would take him from the French under-19 league to Benfica, one of Portugal’s leading clubs, although the available details do not establish whether any formal negotiations have taken place.

Vibert’s present status remains unchanged: he is a Saint-Etienne Under-19 player, with Benfica listed as the club linked with his next move.
