has thrown the Benfica world into a frenzy. In recent hours, Canal 11, the official television channel of the Portuguese Football Federation, aired a preview of an exclusive interview with the Portugal international, who opened the door to a possible return to Benfica.

According to what it was possible to confirm through the images shared by the broadcaster, the Portuguese star - who was in action against the United States - said that he plans to return to Benfica, though without giving any possible date.

"I’ve already won more than I ever expected," João Cancelo began by saying in the excerpt shared by Canal 11, admitting that he is considering a return to Benfica, the club where the right-back came through the ranks before moving to Valencia for 15 million euros.

"But for me, playing for Benfica is like Barça, it’s for love. I’m going to lower my salary..." the Portugal international said, revealing that he has some conditions for signing with the Eagles. At the same time, Cancelo explained that he would be willing to reduce his earnings to play once again with the eagle on his chest.

It is worth remembering that the excerpt in question is part of an exclusive interview conducted by Canal 11, which sat down with the player and spoke about his life and career. The episodes will be broadcast in full this Wednesday, April 1, and Thursday, April 2, from 10:00 p.m.
