Despite injury, Nuno Félix to get award at Benfica | OneFootball

Nuno Félix will renew his contract with Benfica soon. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, we reveal that, despite the serious injury the midfielder suffered in the pre-season, the Club da Luz officials want to prevent a potential free departure at the end of the season, as the current contract ends in 2026.

Glorioso 1904 has learned from a close source that the red and white officials see the young defensive midfielder as a promising talent who can succeed in the team under Bruno Lage. Although he is recovering from a complete anterior cruciate ligament tear, Benfica intends to renew his contract, as it ends at the end of the season.

However, despite having Richard Ríos and Enzo Barrenechea as options in his position and, by the end of the year, the return of Manu Silva, Nuno Félix is still seen as an asset, not for the immediate, but for the future, and for this reason, Rui Costa intends to extend the contract with the young athlete.

On the other hand, the footballer already knows that it is very unlikely he will be an option for Bruno Lage this sports season, as after successfully undergoing surgery in August, he will be off the field for the entire season and is only expected to return in 2026/27.

In 2024/2025, while serving Benfica, Nuno Félix - currently valued at 1.7 million euros - was a choice for Nélson Veríssimo in 27 matches: 25 in the Segunda Liga and two in the Premier League International Cup. For the main team of Glorioso, the athlete appeared in two Liga Portugal Betclic matches. In the 1,959 minutes he was on the field, the young international for Portugal scored one goal and made three assists.
