Glorioso 1904 exclusive: Rui Costa set to snap up striker at Benfica | OneFootball

Tomás Soares is set to extend his stay with Benfica. According to information gathered by Glorioso 1904, the SAD led by Rui Costa is finalizing the details of the contract renewal for the young forward, who is seen as one of the main bets for the new cycle of the B team.

According to what our newspaper has learned, Tomás Soares’ renewal is part of the major overhaul being prepared for Benfica B. The Seixal structure is planning several changes to the squad, in a process that will mark the end of a cycle for several players who have been key figures in the team in recent seasons. With those departures, room opens up for a new generation of footballers.

The confidence placed in the young attacker stems above all from the performances he delivered last season. Although he made only nine appearances for the B team, Tomás Soares showed great efficiency in attack, scoring four goals. That return ended up convincing the Benfica hierarchy that the player deserves an even stronger commitment.

In addition to the contract renewal, Benfica’s plan is to give the forward a more important role in the team next season. The idea is for Tomás Soares to benefit from the space left by the several expected departures, establishing himself as one of the attacking references of the reserve side while continuing his competitive development, always with the first team as a medium-term goal.

Benfica believe the youngster has all the qualities needed to establish his talent in professional football and want to secure one of Seixal’s most promising assets. The renewal is well advanced and should be made official as soon as the final details of the new deal are completed.
