Diego Simeone liked what he saw, could move for Benfica star in Jan | OneFootball

Benfica may be facing a new battle to hold on to one of its biggest prospects. Gianluca Prestianni is attracting interest from several top clubs in European football, at a time when theArgentine is standing out for his national team.

According to transfer specialist Ekrem Konur, the Benfica winger is being closely watched by Atlético Madrid. The club managed by Diego Simeone has reportedly put his fellow countryman on its radar, while several Premier League giants are also tracking his progress.

Among the interested clubs are Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Brighton, all of whom are monitoring the young footballer’s development. Chelsea are also in the mix and are said to be one of the clubs showing the strongest interest in the Benfica player.

Despite the growing interest, the Eagles are in a well-protected contractual position. Prestianni is protected by a €100 million release clause, a figure that could prove decisive in the face of any potential move from the interested clubs.

Benfica therefore sees one of its stars firmly enter the international market’s radar. Atlético Madrid, Chelsea and several Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on Prestianni, raising the possibility of an approach as early as the next transfer window.
