Departure confirmed! Estrela da Amadora raid Benfica for winger | OneFootball

Beni Souza is Estrela da Amadora’s latest signing. The 22-year-old French-Congolese winger is leaving Benfica for the Tricolours after a spell with the Eagles marked by growth and emergence in Portuguese football. The player arrived at Luz in the 2024/25 season and joined Benfica’s B team, for whom he made 11 official appearances and provided one assist.

After his first spell wearing the Eagle on his chest, Beni Souza was loaned to Académica, a club where he found the space to show his full potential. Playing for the Coimbra side, the winger enjoyed a high-level season, making 29 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing three assists.

The numbers reflect the influence he had on Briosa’s campaign, as they managed to secure promotion from Liga 3 to Liga 2, thus returning to professional Portuguese football competitions. News of the deal was first reported by newspaper A Bola.

The young attacker’s performances did not go unnoticed and attracted the interest of several clubs. According to the available information, Estrela da Amadora’s SAD, led by Paulo Lopo, moved quickly in the market and managed to secure the player’s signing, getting ahead of the competition, who were also closely following his progress.

After spells with Benfica B and Académica, Beni Souza is now preparing to take another step in his career, this time with Estrela da Amadora. The winger arrives at Reboleira aiming to establish himself in Liga Portugal and confirm the potential he showed last season, in what will be a new opportunity to consolidate his path in Portuguese football.
