Noah Saviolo will not be joining Benfica, Glorioso 1904 knows. Rumors about the signing of the Vitória de Guimarães winger grew after the player was photographed wearing the red shirt, but the situation is nothing more than a coincidence. The Eagles have other targets as priorities for the 2026/27 summer transfer window.

At a time when his name has been linked with Benfica for next season, the image ended up generating various reactions among the fans, although, according to what our newspaper has learned, there is no indication whatsoever that the post was connected to a possible transfer.

According to the player’s explanation, the photograph was not even intended for public release. The Portugal under-21 international only meant to send it to Dodi Lukebakio, following the shirt swap after the match between Vitória de Guimarães and Benfica, played at the Estádio da Luz. By mistake, it was posted to his Instagram account and quickly deleted.

In the 2025/26 season, playing for Vitória de Guimarães, Noah Saviolo, valued at around €10 million, made 36 official appearances across the Portuguese League, the Portuguese Cup and the League Cup. In total, he played 2,314 minutes, scoring two goals and providing five assists.
