Rui Costa ‘to sanction’ Diogo Prioste sale, Benfica to keep percentage for buy-back | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica intend to sell Diogo Prioste, with Rui Costa planning a possible buy-back if the midfielder shines for his next club in 2026/27.

Prioste is expected to move to a new team, preferably in the Primeira Liga, so the club can track his progress closely, with a clause intended to be included in the deal.

Benfica want to keep a percentage of his economic rights as protection for a potential repurchase. The hierarchy believe the 22-year-old can grow with consistent minutes and become a central figure at a smaller club.

His progress is being followed with high expectation, prompting a tailored career plan. The club see immediate potential in Prioste, though he does not have space under Marco Silva this season.

Last season for Benfica, Prioste, valued at two million euros, made 28 official appearances, 26 in Liga Portugal Meu Super and two in Liga Portugal Betclic, across 2,285 minutes. Wearing 86, he produced four goals and seven assists.
