Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Samuel Soares faces uncertain future at Benfica | OneFootball

Samuel Soares may leave Benfica in the January transfer window. In this Glorious 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the goalkeeper wants more playing time to continue his development as an athlete. Thus, a loan or a permanent departure from the Club of Light are scenarios on the table, with one condition.

At the beginning of the current season, with Bruno Lage in charge of Benfica, Samuel Soares was even an option in two matches: Tondela (home) and Alverca (away). In these commitments, both from the Liga Portugal Betclic, the young goalkeeper trained in the eagles did not compromise and left good indications.

However, with the arrival of José Mourinho at the helm of Benfica, Samuel Soares' space seems to have reduced. The coach prefers to continue with Trubin, not promoting the rotation initiated by Bruno Lage. Despite this, given the difficulty of the part, the goalkeeper should be the starter in the Portuguese Cup, against Chaves.

Because of all this, and being aware of the difficulties in stealing the place from Trubin, Samuel Soares believes that a loan to a Liga Portugal Betclic club would be a beneficial scenario for both parties. Benfica's officials are open to this, but only after the renewal is closed.

In the current season, with the Benfica shirt, Samuel Soares - valued at 4 million euros - played two matches, valid for the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Tondela and Alverca. On both occasions, the young 23-year-old goalkeeper, who has a contract with the eagles until June 2027, had positive performances.
