Loris Benito (30) is already leaving Sion following half a season in Valais. The left side returns to Young Boys, where he played between 2015 and 2019. Christian Constantin confirmed this to various media on the sidelines of a friendly match.
Loris Benito will therefore only have played 13 games in the Sédunois jersey (for 1,004 minutes of play, or an average of 77′ per game). Arrived at Tourbillon at the very end of the winter transfer window following 6 months of unemployment, the Argovian has established himself as an important starter for Paolo Tramezzani.
With this transfer to a top club, the Swiss international (13 caps, 1 goal) is giving himself a chance to join the list of 26 players that Murat Yakin will call for the 2022 World Cup. Loris Benito has not not been selected for the national team since Euro 2021 due to his forced departure from Bordeaux and the period of unemployment that followed.
According to the various French-speaking media to which Christian Constantin confirmed the transfer, the cost of the transaction would approach one million Swiss francs. A great added value for FC Sion, to whom Loris Benito had therefore cost nothing. The defender still had a year of contract in Valais.
