Chelsea have money to burn and want to sign Benfica wonderkid | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni is once again attracting the attention of several Premier League clubs. The Argentine winger for Benfica has been closely watched by a number of English sides, at a time when the progress he has shown since arriving in Portugal is starting to put the 20-year-old back on the radar of some of Britain’s top clubs.

According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea are among the clubs keeping the closest tabs on the Argentina international. Alongside the Blues, Tottenham, Manchester United, Newcastle and Brighton have also reportedly tracked the player’s development in recent months through their respective scouting departments.

Despite the growing interest, there is, for now, no formal offer in the works for Prestianni. The interested clubs are mainly assessing the winger’s development and trying to determine whether the Argentine is ready to take the next step in his career.

Prestianni joined Benfica in 2024, arriving from Vélez Sarsfield after already drawing the attention of several European clubs during his breakthrough in Argentine football. At the time, the youngster was seen as one of South America’s most promising talents and was closely followed by various Premier League recruitment teams.

His move to Benfica came precisely as an opportunity to continue his development in a competitive European environment. A spell at the Estádio da Luz would allow the Argentine to gain experience and establish himself before eventuallymaking the jump to another league.
