Career

First stint at Guaraní

Benítez made his first professional appearance for Guaraní of the Paraguayan Primera División on 30 May 2010 against Olimpia. He came on as a 68th-minute substitute for Julián Benítez as Guaraní won 2–1.[1]

Rubio Ñu

After receiving little playing time at Guaraní, Benítez made the move to Rubio Ñu in 2013. He scored his 2 March 2013 against Olimpia. His goal coming in the 74th minute to help make the match end 1–1.[2]

Back at Guaraní

Benítez returned to Guaraní before the Clausura in 2013. He scored his first goal for the club in his first game back on 8 August 2013 against Oriente Petrolero in the Copa Sudamericana. He came on as a 78th-minute substitute and scored in the 93rd minute to give Guaraní a 4–1 victory.[3] He scored his first double for the club on 6 June 2014 in the league against Cerro Porteño. His first goal came in the 1st minute while his second came in the 50th minute as Guaraní drew the match 5–5.[4]

Olympiacos

On August 18, 2014 Benítez was signed by Olympiakos F.C. for $3.4 million, with 15% economic rights retained by his former club Club Guaraní.[5] At his first season in the club, he did not play as much as he thought he would. However, he showed some of his enviable skills scoring some really beautiful goals.

On 26 July 2015, Jorge 'Bully' Benitez, cameras and reporters rushed terrified to take the first impressions of the former player of Olympiakos who is being surrounded by recorder and merely he held microphones and said: "I come to make goals"'. Benitez will make the appropriate medical examinations and will sign his six months contract with the Mexican club Cruz Azul, on loan from Olympiakos.[6] [7] Eventually, a day later, Cruz Azul announced in its official website the lending of the player for the Apertura 2015. [8]

On 26 March 2016, Olympiakos striker Benitez, who is currently on loan at Cruz Azul, is unlikely to return to the Greek giants. The Paraguayan striker is enjoying a great form at the Mexican club and rumours claimed that he could be on his way to Olympiakos when his loan expires. However, it is believed that Benitez does not wish to return back to the Greek champions as he is very happy and settled in Cruz Azul. [9] On 28 March 2016, Olympiakos have accepted a bid in the region of €4 million from Cruz Azul for the services of Jorge Benitez. Benitez was on loan at the Mexican club from Olympiakos as the Greek giants were ready to listen to offers. [10] On 14 May 2015, the mexican club officially announced the acquisition of the Paraguayan international striker. [11]

International

Benítez made his international debut on 1 June 2014 against France. He came on as a 65th-minute substitute for Roque Santa Cruz as Paraguay drew the match 1–1.[12]
