Attention! Benfica wonderkid close to loan move to Académico de Viseu | OneFootball

Benfica’s goalkeeping position is well covered. Anatoliy Trubin, Samuel Soares, André Gomes and Diogo Ferreira make up the Eagles’ goalkeeping department. Given the high level of competition, the SAD led by Rui Costa could loan out one of the Luz goalkeepers.

Académico de Viseu are in the race to secure Diogo Ferreira on loan. The Beira-based club, which is returning to the top flight of Portuguese football, want to strengthen the squad for next season and have the Benfica goalkeeper as one of their main targets.

However, according to Record, the Eagles are not keen to let the 19-year-old goalkeeper leave, as he was third in Benfica’s pecking order last season and the starter for the club’s reserve team.

The future of Benfica’s goalkeeping department remains open, with the four goalkeepers mentioned above having started pre-season. Of these, one is certain not to stay at Benfica. André Gomes has returned after a loan spell at Alverca, while Samuel Soares is entering the final year of his contract and would also welcome a loan move, so he can play regularly.

Trubin could leave Benfica as the SAD want to keep Diogo Ferreira, and a decision will be made later on.
