Benfica punish João Rego after midfielder refuses to play | OneFootball

João Rego refuses to renew contract with Benfica. The reds are very keen to extend the athlete's contract, who is seen as one of the biggest promises of Seixal, but the player has been making life difficult for Rui Costa and the rest of the management of the emblem of Luz.

According to information advanced by the newspaper Record, the proposal for renewal with a clause of 100 million euros was refused. In this way, Benfica has definitively placed the player in team B, staying the whole season under the orders of Nélson Veríssimo.

João Rego was not called up by Bruno Lage this season, as Benfica hoped to resolve the future of the midfielder. Several proposals arrived at Luz to take the footballer on loan, but the eagles held the young man, hopeful of an agreement.

The Benfica wants, in addition to increasing the clause to 100 million euros, to extend João Rego's connection at least until 2028. In this way, the player would be shielded against the possible harassment of European sharks, who have already shown to be attentive.

João Rego, one of the new talents of Seixal, made his debut for the main team last season, In 2024/25, the offensive midfielder - valued at 3 million euros - participated in 13 official matches for the main team of the eagles. In total, the number 84 of the reds and whites only scored one goal.
