Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Leandro Santos reveals news on Benfica future | OneFootball

Leandro Santos is expected to be José Mourinho’s bet in Benfica’s upcoming matches. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reports that, as a result of Amar Dedic’s new injury, the young international from Portugal’s youth teams may earn the Eagles coach’s trust.

The truth is that Leandro Santos has not yet been considered for the first team only because he suffered a minor injury, which, for example, prevented him from traveling with the squad for the match against Chelsea. José Mourinho believes in the abilities of the 20-year-old player and, until Bah returns from injury, he is the alternative to Dedic.

Despite conflicting information, according to what Glorioso 1904 has learned, Leandro Santos may indeed feature in the match against Tondela. The match is scheduled for this Wednesday, October 29, at 8:45 pm, at Estádio da Luz, and is part of the League Cup quarter-finals.

Leandro Santos has a contract until June 2027 and Benfica’s management intends to renew it. Negotiations are ongoing and an agreement may be reached soon, with the main issue being the guarantee of opportunities for the player, rather than any financial demand.

This season, wearing Benfica’s shirt, Leandro Santos – valued at 1 million euros – has played 4 matches for the club’s B team. In total, the full-back, who is under contract until June 2027, has accumulated 347 minutes, during which he provided one assist, against Torreense.
