Exclusive Glorioso 1904 - Benfica set to change Ivan Lima’s terms | OneFootball

Ivan Lima will renew with Benfica. As revealed by our Journal in this Exclusive Glorioso1904, the forward is highly appreciated at Luz and will continue serving the reds, as he is already an option for José Mourinho in the main team.

The winger made his debut against Chaves in the Portuguese Cup, having entered near the end. However, he was already a surprise inclusion by José Mourinho in Benfica's trip to Estádio do Dragão for the Classic against Porto, showing that the coach is attentive to Benfica's B team.

Ivan Lima is seen at Luz as a great talent, and Mourinho recognizes the young player's technical ability. Therefore, the reds will extend Ivan Lima's connection to the club, securing the 20-year-old footballer for a few more seasons.

"I could give 10/15 minutes to Ivan Lima, for a boy to enter losing 3-0, unfair. So, I also thought it was unfair for the players on the bench to make any changes," said José Mourinho, after the defeat to Newcastle.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Ivan Lima - valued at 200 thousand euros - has played seven games: six for the B team and one in the main squad. In total, the red winger has played 453 minutes in Liga 2 and 1 in the Portuguese Cup, without scoring any goals or providing any assists.
