Nuno Félix to get Benfica award despite injury | OneFootball

Nuno Félix is set to renew his contract with Benfica soon. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, we reveal that, despite the severe injury the midfielder suffered in the pre-season, the leaders of the Club da Luz want to prevent a potential free departure at the end of the season, as the current contract ends in 2026.

Glorioso 1904 knows, from a close source, that the red and white leaders see in the young defensive midfielder a promising talent who can succeed in the team under Bruno Lage's command. Despite recovering from a total rupture of the anterior knee ligament, Benfica intends to renew the contract, as it ends at the end of the season.

However, despite having Richard Ríos and Enzo Barrenechea as options in his position, and the return of Manu Silva by the end of the year, Nuno Félix is still seen as an asset, not for the immediate, but for the future and, for that reason, Rui Costa intends to extend the contract with the young athlete.

On the other hand, the footballer already knows that he will very unlikely be an option for Bruno Lage in the current sports season, since, after having successfully undergone a surgical procedure in August, he will be off the fields for the entire season and is only expected to return in 2026/27.

In 2024/2025, while playing for Benfica, Nuno Félix - currently valued at 1.7 million euros - was chosen by Nélson Veríssimo in 27 matches: 25 in the Second League and two in the Premier League International Cup. For the main team of Glorioso, the athlete participated in two matches of the Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 1,959 minutes he was on the field, the young international for Portugal scored one goal and made three assists.
