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

Vinícius Fabri, an attacking midfielder of just 18, is being tipped as a possible Benfica target for the future. 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 RTI Esporte, from Brazil, the Eagles are keeping a close eye on the player’s contract situation, which 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 regarding his future 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.

Santos and he 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 appears to have put the player on the radar of European clubs such as Benfica and Shakhtar Donetsk.

The profile fits into a scouting strategy of young talents with potential to increase in value. 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.
