he Swedish international has found playing opportunities very limited at the French club, having been loaned out three times since he joined Les Canaris in 2006.
News source Aftonbladet claims that Benfica have inquired into Wilhelmsson's current situation and that they are willing to spend €2 million on the winger.
The Portuguese outfit are looking for a new left-sided midfielder following the departure of Cristian Rodríguez to FC Porto.
The good performances made by Wilhelmsson while at Deportivo La Coruña have led to interest from the Spanish club in signing him permanently, but the possibility of playing in European competitions may well see him turn down the Depor contract to move to Benfica.
