Glorioso 1904 exclusive – Rui Costa to free Benfica gem, wants % cut | OneFootball

Benfica want to sell Diogo Prioste, though the Club wants to safeguard a percentage of his rights. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reports that Rui Costa's intention is to bring him back if the midfielder performs well for his next team in 2026/2027.

According to what our newspaper has learned, Diogo Prioste is expected to continue his career at a new club - something that had already been reported - preferably in the Primeira Liga. This strategy is aimed at allowing the 22-year-old player to be monitored more closely. However, the Eagles intend to include a clause in the player's deal.

The Lisbon club intends to keep a percentage of the player's rights as a safeguard for a possible future buyback. Benfica's hierarchy believe that Diogo Prioste can develop with more competitive minutes and become a key figure for a smaller club.

Diogo Prioste's rise in professional football has been followed with high expectations, leading Rui Costa to design a very specific career plan for the youngster. Benfica recognise the player's immediate potential, despite him not having room under Marco Silva this season.

Last season, playing for Benfica, Diogo Prioste - valued at €2 million - made a total of 28 official appearances: 26 in Liga Portugal Meu Super and two in Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 2,285 minutes he was on the pitch, the number 86 registered four goals and seven assists.
