25-year-old winger not in Marco Silva’s plans, set to leave Benfica | OneFootball

Tiago Gouveia could be on his way out of Benfica in this summer transfer window. The Portuguese winger has attracted interest from several clubs, although there is still no offer that convinces Benfica’s decision-makers or the player himself.

With a contract valid until 2028, the young Portuguese international has already been approached by clubs from Spain, Scotland, Poland, England and even Major League Soccer (MLS), but so far none of the options has met the conditions sought by both parties. The information was reported by Record.

According to Transfermarkt, Tiago Gouveia is currently valued at €3.5 million. Last season, the winger played for Nice on loan, but failed to establish himself consistently in French football. Over the course of the season, he featured in 25 official matches, only 11 of them as a starter, scoring two goals, both against Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League.

At the end of the loan spell, the French club chose not to trigger the purchase option, set at €8 million, which led to the player returning to Benfica. The situation in Marco Silva’s squad also does not make it easy for Tiago Gouveia to stay.

On the wings, Gianluca Prestianni and Dodi Lukebakio currently appear to be the main options to play on the right side of the attack, although the future of the Belgian international remains up in the air. In a possible role as a right-back, the Portuguese player would have to compete for space with Amar Dedić, Alexander Bah and Daniel Banjaqui.
