Official! Rui Costa agrees new deal with Benfica left-footer | OneFootball

Dinis Telehovschi renewed his contract with Benfica and extended his link with the Club he has represented since the youngest age groups. At 19, the young under-23 midfielder did not hide his satisfaction at seeing the work he has done over nearly a decade with the eagle on his chest recognized.

“It marks a moment of pride and also great happiness because Benfica continues to believe in my work. And I feel immense pride,” said Dinis Telehovschi in comments to BTV. Now in his 11th season with Benfica, the midfielder sees the Club as one of his main sources of motivation to keep working.

“Benfica is a very big club, so Benfica itself gives me a lot of motivation day after day, year after year. This is almost my second home, so I have a lot of motivation, which makes me want to work every day.” Telehovschi arrived at Benfica in 2016/17, still at the Under-10 Benjamins level.

Since then, the midfielder has built a successful path through Benfica’s academy. He was a two-time national champion with the Juvenis side, in 2022/23 and 2023/24, before also winning the National Junior Championship in 2024/25. In the 2025/26 season, as an Under-19 junior, Dinis Telehovschi played 27 matches for Benfica and scored one goal.

The record includes one UEFA Youth League match, 10 appearances for the Under-23s - who drew with Rio Ave - and 16 in the National Junior Championship. Now, with a new contractual stage ahead of him, the midfielder keeps the dream of continuing to grow at the Club.
