Santos midfielder nearing end of contract, linked with Benfica | OneFootball

Vinícius Fabri, an attacking midfielder of just 18, is being tipped as a possible future target for Benfica. The young footballer belongs to Santos and currently plays for the Brazilian club’s Under-20 team, while also attracting interest from Shakhtar Donetsk.

According to Brazil’s RTI Esporte, the Eagles are keeping a close eye on the player’s contract situation, as he could become an interesting market opportunity. Vinícius Fabri is under contract with Santos until June 2027, which leaves the Brazilian club needing to make a decision regarding the young talent’s future.

The idea is to first assess what role the youngster will have in Santos’ first-team squad before making a final decision on whether he will remain at the club. The midfielder has not yet made any appearances for the senior team, with youth competitions serving as his main stage so far.

Vinícius Fabri has been building his path through the youth ranks of Santos and is internally regarded as one of the players who could earn a place in the first team in the future. It is precisely this room for development that has reportedly put the player on the radar of European clubs such as the Eagles and Shakhtar Donetsk.

The profile fits into a scouting strategy focused on young talents with strong resale potential. At 18, Vinícius Fabri is still in the early stages of his career, but he could become a market opportunity if he does not reach an agreement to renew with Santos.
