Official: Benfica reach agreement with 1.88m goalkeeper | OneFootball

It's official. Benfica has announced the signing of a youth contract with the young goalkeeper Lourenço Luís, 14 years old, reinforcing the Club's commitment to young talent and the construction of a solid foundation for the future.

The goalkeeper, who arrived from Aljustrelense, is completing his first months in service of the Club from Luz. This season, he has played eight matches for the under-15s and was recently called up to the national under-15 team to participate in an inter-association tournament at the City of Football.

In the last match, the Benfica under-15 team thrashed Estoril by an impressive 11-0, in a rescheduled match from the third round of the Under-15 Championship Qualification Phase. After also winning the derby, the Eagles thus remain in the race for the title. Lourenço Luís was brought on in the 53rd minute.

José Mourinho, Benfica's coach, was a notable presence in the stands at Seixal. The coach has been taking every opportunity to take notes on the talents of the red emblem, with the under-15 squad still young, but very promising.

At the moment, the team led by João Faria Rodrigues is in second place in the standings with 14 points, two behind Porto (16). In the next round, Benfica will host Vitória de Guimarães. The match is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, at 11:00 AM, in Seixal.
