Official! Benfica striker renews, another Glorioso 1904 exclusive | OneFootball

It’s official. Benfica have announced the contract renewal of Tomás Soares, the forward who was part of Portugal’s European and World Under-17 championship-winning generation. In this way, another story reported exclusively by our newspaper on July 8 is confirmed.

The 18-year-old striker has therefore extended his link with the Eagles, the club he has represented since 2016. A native of Freamunde, he began his journey at Benfica’s Training and Development Centre in Braga, before moving permanently to the Seixal Campus in the 2020/21 season.

The renewal confirms the Eagles’ faith in one of the most promising young players in the academy. Last season, he split his time between the Under-19s and Under-23s, scoring five goals in 18 matches for the junior team and adding another four goals in just seven games for the Under-23s.

In addition, for Portugal’s youth national teams, the attacker has already recorded 20 goals in 39 international appearances, numbers that reflect the Portuguese international’s development. After making the renewal official, Tomás Soares said he was pleased to continue wearing the eagle on his chest.
