Tottenham Hotspur winger Hayley Raso is in talks over a move to Portuguese club Benfica.
The 30-year-old Australia international is into the final year of her deal at Spurs and while an agreement is yet to be reached, talks between the clubs are ongoing.
Raso joined Tottenham last summer on a two-year contract from Real Madrid and scored on her debut, a four-goal victory over Crystal Palace in the Women’s Super League (WSL).
However, Raso did not score in her 12 subsequent appearances for the club.
Raso, who has 99 senior caps for Australia, previously played for Canberra United and the Brisbane Roar in the W-League, NWSL duo Washington Spirit and the Portland Thorns, before spells in Europe with Everton, Manchester City and Madrid.
New Spurs coach Martin Ho was appointed at the north London club earlier this month, and Spurs will now look to enhance the squad and the potential exit of Raso would precede incomings ahead of the new WSL season.
The club have made one signing this summer, with 19-year-old Japan defender Toko Koga joining from Feyenoord in July on a four-year deal.
Spurs endured a difficult 2024-25 campaign under previous head coach Robert Vilahamn, including a 10-game winless run from January which saw them record an 11th-place WSL finish, just one place from the foot of the table and relegation.
