Mauro Furtado’s future remains far from reaching a positive outcome for Benfica. According to information gathered by Glorioso 1904, the 17-year-old centre-back still intends not to renew his contract with the Eagles, despite the several attempts made by the SAD led by Rui Costa. At this point, the most likely scenario is indeed a departure.
According to what our newspaper has learned, Benfica have already presented more than one renewal proposal to the defender developed at Seixal, seeking to secure the continuity of one of the most promising players of his generation. However, the player has rejected every approach made so far.
The young defender’s stance comes at a time when his development continues to attract attention. At the last Under-17 World Cup, representing the national team, the footballer took part in eight matches, seven of them as a starter, totaling 645 minutes played, in addition to scoring one goal.
Despite the confidence that the club’s structure continues to place in the footballer, the passing of time without an agreement between the parties is increasing the possibility of a departure. Benfica have not given up on convincing Mauro Furtado to stay at the Luz, but internally they acknowledge that the margin to reverse the situation is becoming increasingly smaller.
At this moment, everything indicates that Mauro Furtado’s spell at Benfica may be nearing its end. Negotiations remain open, but without any change in the young centre-back’s position, a farewell is gaining more and more momentum.
