Tiago Gouveia back at Nice, bad news for Benfica winger | OneFootball

Tiago Gouveia’s future at Benfica is practically decided, after Nice informed the club that they will not trigger the purchase option set at €8 million. With a contract valid until 2028, the player now returns to the Estádio da Luz, but he is not part of the Eagles’ plans for next season.

The 24-year-old winger was on loan at the French club this season, making 24 appearances, only 10 as a starter, and completing the full 90 minutes on two occasions, scoring two goals, both against Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League.

The SAD of the Lisbon club is already working to find a definitive solution for his future. At this point, the priority is a permanent sale, although no transfer fee has yet been set.

Loaned out in the summer transfer window, as he was not in Bruno Lage’s plans, the player has not had an easy time in France, showing several difficulties and a lack of consistency in living up to the expectations of the Club of Light.

This season, while playing for Nice, Tiago Gouveia - valued at €4 million - has already made 24 official appearances: 15 in Ligue 1, seven in the Europa League and two in the Coupe de France. In the 935 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Portuguese footballer has scored two goals.
