In 1993, Aílton joined Benfica, as the alternative for Adolfo Valencia after negotiations with the Colombian failed.[3] He made his debut on a friendly against FC Barcelona on 18 August 1993, scoring the 2–1 in the 73rd minute.[4] His first season in Portugal was a success, as he help the Lisbon-side win the league title, scoring 14 goals in 33 games, notably the first against Porto on 6 February 1994.[5][6]
In his second season, Artur Jorge made several changes in the squad, with Aílton being loaned out to São Paulo until June 1995. He returned to Portugal for a six-month spell in 1995, without much success, moving permanently to São Paulo in January 1996.[7]
