Federico Coletta catches the eye, draws interest from top Benfica official | OneFootball

Federico Coletta is catching José Mourinho's attention. According to information coming from Italy, Benfica's surprise signing in the last summer transfer window is very appealing to the coach, and if he continues like this, he might even earn an opportunity in the main team.

According to the newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, the recent performances of Federico Coletta, who scored in two of the last three games for Benfica's under-23 team, have made José Mourinho pay particular attention to the young 18-year-old, who is one of the great talents of Italian football.

It should be noted that Federico Coletta joined Benfica in the last transfer window, coming from Roma. The international player for Italy's youth teams cost the club 1 million euros. The historic Italian club secured 30% of a future sale, but this value cannot exceed 6 million euros.

“Thank you very much for the opportunity to come to Benfica. For me, it is a source of pride to join one of the biggest clubs in Portugal and Europe. I am here to give my best, I am at the disposal of this great club, and I hope to achieve the highest possible goals,” said Federico Coletta upon signing the contract with the club.

In the current season, playing for Benfica, Federico Coletta has participated in four matches: three for the under-23 team and one for the juniors. In the 259 minutes he wore the Sacred Mantle, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder scored two goals, against Santa Clara and Estoril Praia.
