Ex-Benfica player scores stunner, set for big-money transfer (Video) | OneFootball

Franculino Djú shines again at Midtjylland. The Guinean forward, who spent a significant part of his development at Benfica, stood out this weekend after scoring a beautiful header in a match against Silkeborg in the Danish championship. The player, it should be noted, left the Eagles on a free transfer in 2023, released by Rui Costa.

Franculino Djú has been having a fantastic start to the season. Midtjylland has already played 11 official matches this season and the Guinean international has been involved in 10 games, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. To date, he is the top scorer in the Danish league, a championship where Andreas Schjelderup, for example, played before moving to Benfica.

This past weekend, on August 24th, Sunday, Franculino Djú found the back of the net again in Midtjylland's 4-2 victory over Silkeborg. At 35 minutes, the Guinean forward was assisted with a cross and with a 'striker's touch' header, scored his team's first goal of the match.

Franculino Djú, it should be noted, has been attracting significant interest in the market. Due to his exceptional start to the season, Midtjylland received an offer around 25 million euros from a Ligue 1 club. The Danish club is awaiting qualification for the Europa League to make a decision regarding the forward's future.

In Benfica's youth ranks, Franculino Djú - currently valued at 13 million euros - played 42 matches in the juniors, where he scored 33 goals and made two assists. In his last season with the Eagles, in the under-23s, he played 16 games and found the net 13 times. The killer instinct was always there, but due to disagreements between Rui Costa and Cátio Baldé, the player's former agent, the president of the Eagles decided to let the forward leave on a free transfer.
