Benjamín Rollheiser (born 24 March 2000) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a winger for Primeira Liga club Benfica.

Club career

[edit]

Rollheiser had a short stint with Estudiantes' youth between 2010 and 2011, prior to playing for hometown team Deportivo Sarmiento; where he'd appear in Torneo Argentino C.[2][3] He signed to the ranks of River Plate in 2014.[2] In April 2019, a new contract was signed with them.[4][5] Rollheiser was promoted into senior football ahead of the 2019–20 campaign, netting in pre-season friendlies in the United States with Ventura County Fusion (2) and Guadalajara.[6][7][8][9] On 16 July, Rollheiser made his pro bow in a Copa Argentina win over Primera B Nacional's Gimnasia y Esgrima; converting the decisive spot-kick as River won on penalties.[1][10][11]

On 20 January 2024, Rollheiser joined Primeira Liga club Benfica on loan until the end of the 2023–24 season, with a subsequent obligation-to-buy, reported to be around €9.5 million for 90% of the player's economic rights.[12][13] Nine days later, he made his debut for the Lisbon-based side, coming off the bench to replace compatriot Ángel Di María for the final minutes of a 4–1 league victory away at Estrela da Amadora.[14]

International career

[edit]

Rollheiser represented Argentina at U17 level, notably winning three caps at the 2017 South American Championship in Chile.[1][2] He has also trained with their senior team.[2][15]
