Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Benfica struggling to renew with young talent | OneFootball

Benfica is struggling to finalize the contract renewal of a young prospect. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the club’s management, led by Rui Costa, has not been able to close the deal to secure the continuity of Jelani Trevisan. The footballer is nearing the end of his contract.

Glorioso 1904 has learned from a close source that Trevisan is one of the rising gems of the Benfica Campus in Seixal, being a regular presence in several youth teams, namely the under-19, under-23, and B teams. However, our newspaper reveals that the 20-year-old Belgian is seeking more ambitious opportunities.

The young footballer stood out last season as one of the most influential players in the Club da Luz’s under-19 squad, coached by Vítor Vinha. The highlight of the season was winning the Taça Revelação, the first trophy in this category, in which Trevisan played a key role.

However, as our newspaper has found out, the number 96 aims to go further, possibly to the main squad. Yet, since he has not been called up by José Mourinho, the Belgian may prefer to let his contract expire and seek new horizons. Currently, he is part of the B team, where he has delivered several strong performances, such as against Farense, despite the defeat.

Jelani Trevisan – under contract until June 30, 2026 – is one of Benfica’s biggest football prospects. This season, the number 96 has played nine official matches with the Sacred Mantle: six in Liga Portugal Meu Super, two in Liga Revelação, and one in the Premier League International Cup. In the 483 minutes he’s spent on the pitch, he has scored four goals.
