 Not the first time SL Benfica does business with NYCFC they also sold Keaton Parks, will only get a percentage if they will sell him in a future transfer so the protocol with both clubs are working and Benfica still got a lot players to find a home 

Cristian Lema, 30 yrs old 6'3 "Argentine central still linked to Benfica, is close to heading to Major League Soccer (MLS), the North American championship.

The club will be New York FC. He will be the third Benfica player to head to that league, after Jhonder Cádiz, en route to Nashville, and Yony González, for LA Galaxy.
