After Daniel Banjaqui, Benfica plan three more extensions | OneFootball

The new contract of Daniel Banjaqui, valid until 2031 and with an €80 million release clause, came into effect this Tuesday, the day on which the Benfica right-back celebrated his 18th birthday, with the official announcement scheduled for the end of the month, after the youngster returns from under-21 duty.

Along the same lines, according to newspaper 'O Jogo', the renewal of left-back José Neto, who comes of age on April 19, has also already been agreed. The new deal for the player called up to the under-19s will also run until 2031 and carry the same multi-million protection, but it will only be made official on that day.

Before Banjaqui and José Neto, another Portugal under-17 world champion, Anísio Cabral, renewed one day after celebrating his 18th birthday. The striker signed until 2031 and was protected with a €100 million release clause, continuing the plan of renewing the youngsters.

Rafael Quintas and Tomás Soares, who have already turned 18, will also finalize their respective processes at the beginning of April, while the agreement with Jaden Umeh, who was at the same tournament but representing Ireland, is being finalized. Mauro Furtado, Ricardo Neto, Stevan Manuel and Miguel Figueiredo, all 17, are discussing long-term deals.

Also worth noting is João Capucho, who saw Benfica secure his continuation with the eagle on his chest, this Tuesday. The young left-back has 25 caps for Portugal’s youth teams and, this season, has made three appearances for the Reds’ under-23 side.
