Attention! Updates on Daniel Banjaqui’s future at Benfica | OneFootball

It will only be a matter of time before Daniel Banjaqui signs the new contract. According to reports, the athlete and Benfica have already reached an understanding regarding the new agreement, with the number 58 just waiting until the end of March.

As reported by the newspaper A Bola, the 17-year-old will reach adulthood on March 24, and only then can his new deal with Benfica be officially confirmed. It appears to be a process similar to what was done with Anísio Cabral, who renewed last February.

Thus, as the same source indicates, Banjaqui is expected to sign a long-term professional contract, valid until the summer of 2031. Additionally, the new agreement is expected to include a release clause set at 100 million euros, similar to the 18-year-old forward. It should be noted that last Thursday, March 5, Benfica officially renewed Rui Silva's contract.

With this new contract, Benfica is preparing to secure another gem from Seixal, who stood out in the Under-17 World Cup. Banjaqui has been on the wish list of some European giants, such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but his future lies at Luz.

This season, playing for Benfica, Daniel Banjaqui — valued at 1 million euros — has already played a total of 23 official matches: 11 in Liga Portugal Meu Super, six in the UEFA Youth League, three in Liga Revelação, two in Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Taça de Portugal. In the 1,477 minutes he was on the field, the defender recorded one goal and two assists.
