Benfica assess move for free agent Tomás Nogueira after Sporting exit | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica are monitoring Tomás Nogueira’s situation after the 18-year-old futsal prospect left Sporting, and want to understand his demands before deciding on a move. This includes both contractual and sporting terms.

Nogueira departed Alvalade having failed to reach agreement with the structure led by Frederico Varandas on a long-term professional deal. Differences centred on his valuation, status at the club, and prospects of first-team use.

The defender, considered internally one of Sporting’s leading talents, sought firmer guarantees of short-term opportunities with the senior side. Sporting did not accept those conditions and maintained its existing youth progression policy.

Now a free agent, Nogueira has attracted Benfica’s interest. The club view him as a market opportunity among the sport’s top prospects.

Nogueira has already featured for Sporting’s senior futsal team. In 2025/26 he scored 21 goals in 26 matches for the under-19s.
