Watch out, Benfica! European giant chasing Daniel Banjaqui | OneFootball

The summer transfer market has not yet opened, but clubs are already starting to anticipate some moves. According to reports, Bayern Munich, the perennial Bundesliga champions, have Daniel Banjaqui, a young prospect from Benfica, as one of the names on the Bavarians’ wish list.

This information was shared by journalist Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports, who reports the Munich giant’s interest in the 17-year-old full-back who, in recent weeks, has been a regular presence in José Mourinho’s team, already racking up several appearances on the pitch.

According to the same source, Bayern Munich want to sign a new full-back in the summer transfer window and, as Plettenberg explains, the priority is Givairo Read, just 19 years old and making a name for himself at Feyenoord. However, Daniel Banjaqui — one of the youngsters given a chance by Mourinho — is also an appealing target for the Germans.

These rumors come at a time when the Eagles are looking to finalize a contract renewal with the player, who turns 18 on March 24. So far, Benfica has not yet reached an agreement with the number 56, but a new contract also cannot be announced before the player reaches adulthood.

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 has spent on the pitch, the full-back has recorded one goal and two assists.
