Deal done! Benfica duo on their way to Porto | OneFootball

Daniela Areia Santos is set to join Porto, after her contract with Benfica came to an end. The Dragons are aiming to build a competitive squad for next season, relying on players with solid experience in Liga BPI.

The 22-year-old defender had a positive season at Valadares Gaia, the club she represented on loan in 2025/26. Over the course of the campaign, she played 26 matches, scored one goal and provided one assist, a performance that also earned her a debut for the Portugal national team.

Another player who will also line up for the rival of the Eagles will be Letícia Almeida. The 21-year-old midfielder is also at the end of her contract with Benfica and will therefore follow the same path as her teammate.

Signed by Benfica in 2023 after standing out at Famalicão, Letícia Almeida always remained part of the club’s main squad. Last season, under head coach Ivan Baptista, she featured in 17 official matches, without scoring.

It should also be noted that at Benfica, Marta Salvador, Zoe Matthews and Carolina Ferreira are also out of contract and will be free to continue their respective careers at other clubs from July 1.
