Back at Benfica, Prestianni makes promise to the supporters | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni returned to Lisbon after completing the training camp with the Argentina national team, convinced that Benfica will give everything to win their 39th national title this season. Despite trailing Porto by seven points, the young Benfica winger promises "hard work" until the final match.

Although he was not used in the friendlies against Mauritania and Zambia, the Eagles’ number 21 was asked at Lisbon airport whether he still believes Benfica can become champions: "Yes, we will work until the final game", he said in comments to CMTV.

In that same vein, it is worth noting that Prestianni - who has once again attracted the attention of other clubs - had already said, while still in Argentina, that he would give his all in Benfica’s final seven matches this season to justify a call-up from Lionel Scaloni for the 2026 World Cup.

"I would give everything to be at the World Cup. Even what I don’t have. But I have to stay calm and keep working at Benfica to see if the opportunity comes. I think I’m doing things very well at Benfica, everything the coach asks of me", the young Argentine winger shared in an interview with 'Telefe'.

This season, playing for Benfica, Gianluca Prestianni — valued at 12 million euros — has already made a total of 33 appearances: 22 in Liga Portugal Betclic, five in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup.
