Diogo Prioste will leave Benfica in 2026/2. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our newspaper reports that the decision by the club's management, led by Rui Costa, is to sell the player, who is not expected to be part of José Mourinho's plans for the next season.

According to Glorioso 1904, based on sources close to the process, Diogo Prioste is expected to continue his career at a new club, preferably in the Primeira Liga. However, it is known that Benfica intends to include some clauses in the potential sale of the midfielder.

According to the information accessed by our newspaper, the Club of Light intends to retain a percentage of the player's rights, as a safeguard for a potential buyback or to secure financial gain in case Diogo Prioste is involved in a major transfer.

The terms outlined by Benfica, in the process involving the B team midfielder, are similar to the deal made between the eagles and Moreirense, during the sale of Leandro Santos. It should be recalled that the footballer was transferred permanently last January, with the club retaining a buyback option for the player.

This season, playing for Benfica, Diogo Prioste - valued at 2 million euros - has played a total of 19 official matches: 17 in the Liga Portugal Meu Super and two in the Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 1,497 minutes he has been on the field, the number 86 has recorded three goals and five assists.
