Official! Félix agrees deal with Benfica until 2030 | OneFootball

Nuno Félix remains an Eagle. The 22-year-old midfielder, who has been playing for the B team, has renewed his contract with Benfica for another four seasons, keeping him tied to the Club of Light until 2030. After a particularly difficult year, marked by a serious injury, the youngster sees the renewal as an important vote of confidence from the Eagles.

The player spent many months away from the pitch after suffering a serious injury in the summer of 2025. The midfielder underwent surgery and faced a long recovery process, but says he is now ready to return to his best level.

The midfielder joined Benfica’s first team on 15 February 2025. At just 20 years old, Nuno Félix made his official debut for the Eagles against Santa Clara, in São Miguel, in a match from the 22nd round of the league (1-0). The player came on in the 86th minute to replace Bruma.

Nuno Félix was used again by the first team during the 2024/25 season, ending the campaign with three official appearances and 30 minutes played: two in the league and one in the Portuguese Cup. His last appearance came on 9 April 2025, against Tirsense, in the first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, in a match that Benfica won 5-0.

The youngster’s progress, however, suffered a major setback at the start of the 2025/26 season. Nuno Félix suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and underwent surgery on 1 August 2025. The injury forced the midfielder into a lengthy recovery period. His official return to the pitch only came on 11 April 2026, in the match between Benfica B and União de Leiria.
