Benfica will renew Daniel Banjaqui's contract. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that a preliminary agreement has already been reached between the parties to extend the deal.

Daniel Banjaqui to renew with Benfica

The athlete – who received praise from a former coach – is seen as one of Seixal’s brightest gems. The club’s management has great faith in the right-back’s potential and sees a brilliant future ahead for him. The structure believes that the youngster has all the qualities needed to succeed at the highest level, thus justifying this strong commitment to keeping him in Lisbon.

With Alexander Bah’s injury and the need to rest Amar Dedic, the U-17 World Champion may get opportunities in the first team. José Mourinho is closely following the youngster’s development and may soon give him a chance. The door to a starting position or more minutes is now open for the promising defender.

His debut for the first team happened recently against Farense, in a match for the Portuguese Cup. The player was brought on by the Setúbal-born coach in that game, leaving a good impression on the fans. It was the first step in what is hoped to be a long and successful journey wearing the Sacred Mantle.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Daniel Banjaqui – valued at 1 million euros – has played 15 matches: seven in the Second League, four in the Youth League, three in the Liga Revelação, and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 838 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the defender, who is under contract until June 2027, has scored one goal.
