José Nunes names Benfica's best player: remarkable | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni is one of the names that has stood out the most in Benfica's strong start to the season. The Argentine winger continues to establish himself on the pitch, and José Nunes acknowledges the young footballer's growth.

"What Prestianni did from that point on (the incident with Vinícius Jr.) was remarkable. We're talking about a kid who had shown signs of some immaturity at various moments," he began by saying during a discussion held on the Now channel.

He then reinforced his praise for the Argentine for not responding to provocations on the pitch. "One example was the game against Flamengo. We saw a kid completely focused on his performance and reaching an unexpected level," he said.

It is worth recalling that Benfica are going to renew Prestianni's contract, in a process that should include a salary increase and an extension of his deal by two more seasons. The Argentine international, currently tied to the Eagles until 2029, could end up under contract with the club until 2031.

The release clause is expected to remain set at 100 million euros. The renewal comes after a situation that reportedly left Prestianni dissatisfied at the end of last season. The player had expected an improvement in his salary terms, given his growing status within the team, but that update ultimately did not materialize at the time.
