João Rego has signed a new Benfica contract running to the end of 2029/30, agreed in February, with a 100 million euros release clause. The club did not issue an announcement, with confirmation appearing in the SAD report for the first half of 2025/26.

Across 826 minutes on the pitch, he has scored two goals.
