Benfica have something special lined up for Anísio Cabral | OneFootball

Anísio Cabral celebrated his 18th birthday last Sunday, February 15th, which will mean something very important for the athlete. Now of legal age, Benfica will finally be able to officially renew the contract of the number 72, who has been shining brightly in recent weeks while serving in the Eagles’ first team squad.

As reported by the newspaper Record, reaching adulthood is a positive sign for the Club of Light, which very soon can make the renewal with Anísio Cabral official, making it a ‘birthday present’ for the player. The same source also mentioned that the agreement between both parties had already been settled a few weeks ago.

According to the sports daily, these have been dream weeks for the striker, with everything starting from his debut against Estrela da Amadora, where he also made his mark on the scoresheet. Since then, the player has had several opportunities and has not disappointed José Mourinho’s expectations. The renewal is the cherry on top of the cake for Anísio Cabral.

On the other hand, Record also reports that the Benfica management, led by Rui Costa, is not content with just extending the contract of the number 72. The same source explains that the Eagles’ plan is to secure other young talents from Seixal, who have been emerging in José Mourinho’s squad.

This season, playing for Benfica, Anísio Cabral – valued at 5 million euros – has already played three official matches for the first team, all in the Liga Portugal Betclic. So far, the Portuguese player has totaled 19 minutes of play, in which he scored two goals.
