Benfica set to sign Matheus Assunção in January as Braga eye André Correia | OneFootball

Benfica’s futsal side are set to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Matheus Assunção in January, a move that could push André Correia towards the exit, with Braga monitoring his situation.

According to Glorioso 1904, the 24-year-old, currently at Joinville, has his winter switch virtually agreed. He previously represented Grêmio Pague Menos, São José and Cascavel, and joined Joinville in 2024.

Assunção’s addition will intensify competition in goal and is expected to reshape the pecking order. That could limit minutes for Correia despite his standing as a Portugal international.

Correia returned to Benfica in 2024 after spells with Eléctrico and Leões de Porto Salvo. He has top-level experience and may look for a move to secure more playing time.

Braga remain attentive and could act for the goalkeeper. A departure is not yet agreed, but Assunção’s January arrival should hasten a decision on the number one shirt.
