Benfica eye André Gomes return for 26/27 | OneFootball

Benfica is closely monitoring the progress of André Gomes. The club’s management is pleased with the goalkeeper’s performance and, according to exclusive information obtained by Glorioso 1904, is seriously considering integrating the young player into the main squad, coached by José Mourinho, for the 2026/27 season.

André Gomes has shone at Alverca

Currently on loan at Alverca, the player has been the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the Ribatejo side. This regular playing time in Liga Portugal Betclic aligns with the main objective set by the Eagles at the time of the loan: to ensure the footballer gained the necessary experience and competitive edge at the highest level.

Despite the occasional mistake, which is natural in the development process, the goalkeeper has performed excellently. His assured displays and maturity between the posts confirm all the potential he is known for, validating the investment made in his training and development.

If this scenario of returning to the first team materializes next summer, the player’s contract will likely be reviewed. The player, who is under contract until June 2028, may renew his deal with Benfica – which received bad news about Bernardo Silva – thus securing his future with the Eagles.

This season, playing for Alverca, André Gomes – valued at 2.5 million euros – has played 16 matches, all in Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 1,440 minutes he was on the pitch, the U21 international conceded 25 goals, but showed a very positive performance for the Ribatejo team.
