Can the Revs seal the loan before Wednesday’s deadline? Sources say a handful of clauses still need polishing, but the club is racing the clock.
The agreement omits a buy‑out clause; however, if Wynder impresses and wants to stay, Benfica and New England could hammer out a permanent transfer once the loan expires.
At 21, Wynder has shone as a top‑tier centre‑back in U.S. youth squads, though recent injuries have limited his minutes. He logged 37 games for Benfica B and debuted with the senior side after moving from Louisville City in 2023. In my view, the loan is his best chance to regain form.
Several MLS clubs sniffed around for Wynder this season, but the Revs appear closest to clinching the arrangement.
Head coach Marko Mitrovic, who guided Wynder in the U.S. youth ranks, will now oversee his integration. Will Wynder become a regular starter and help New England push for the playoffs?
