Official! Sporting sign former Benfica winger | OneFootball

Sporting officially announced, this Sunday, the signing of Gabriel Teixeira’s youth contract. The winger, just 14 years old, has extended his link with the Lions after a debut season in Alvalade that left a strong impression in the Club’s youth ranks.

The young player came through Casa Benfica de Fafe before continuing his development and now signing with Sporting. Before arriving at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy at the start of the 2025/26 season, Gabriel Teixeira also represented GD Unidos do Cano and Vitória de Guimarães, building the path that led him to the green-and-white badge.

His first season wearing the Lions’ shirt confirmed the young winger’s potential. Playing for Sporting’s under-15 B and C teams, Gabriel Teixeira made 24 official appearances and scored 12 goals, numbers that convinced the club’s officials to move forward with the signing of his youth contract.

The officialization of the deal marks another important step in the young talent’s development, as he continues to grow within Sporting’s structure. The Club believes the winger has the qualities to continue progressing through the youth ranks and establish his path in Alvalade.

After beginning his journey at Casa Benfica de Fafe, Gabriel Teixeira is now preparing to continue developing his career at Sporting - also alongside Fernando Gabriel. The youth contract confirms the Lions’ faith in the 14-year-old winger, whose goal will be to keep standing out in the Club’s youth teams.
