Transfer market heats up: Benfica duo on way to FC Porto | OneFootball

Daniela Areia Santos is very close to joining FC Porto after her contract with Benfica came to an end. The news is reported by Record, which says that the Dragons are looking to build a solid squad made up of players with proven experience in the Women’s Primeira Liga.

The 22-year-old defender performed well last season while on loan at Valadares Gaia. She played 26 matches, scored one goal and provided one assist, while also earning Portuguese international status. Talks between the parties are at a very advanced stage.

Letícia Almeida, another player whose deal with Benfica has also expired, is likewise being closely monitored by FC Porto’s hierarchy. The 21-year-old midfielder arrived at Luz in 2023 after standing out at Famalicão and was not loaned out again. Under Ivan Baptista, she featured in 17 matches, without scoring.
