Official! Defender repped by Bruno Fernandes' agent agrees with Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica officially announced this Friday the signing of a youth contract with Miguel Guilherme, a young centre-back who continues to stand out in the club’s academy and is regarded as one of the emerging prospects from Seixal.

At just 14 years old, the Portuguese defender is now being rewarded for the progress he has shown over the past few seasons with the Eagles, at a time when the Club remains strongly committed to developing its youth academy - as seen with the signing of Kayle Almeida.

Miguel Guilherme is now in his third season wearing the Benfica shirt. The defender began his journey with the Reds after leaving Académica de Coimbra, also spending time at the Aveiro Training and Development Centre before firmly establishing himself in the youth ranks of the Club of Light.

So far this season, the young defender has already made 27 appearances and scored one goal for the Under-15s, figures that have reinforced the confidence of the structure led by Rui Costa in the player’s potential. The footballer is seen as a player with very interesting room for development.
