Diogo Prioste has new suitor in Liga Portugal as Benfica decide future | OneFootball

Diogo Prioste is one of the Benfica players who could leave on loan in this summer transfer window. Gil Vicente are interested in securing the loan of the 22-year-old midfielder, who has finished his spell with the B team and is now looking to establish himself in the Primeira Liga.

The strategy of Benfica’s SAD is to give the young Portugal under-21 international the chance to get minutes in the top flight, similar to what is happening with João Veloso, allowing him to develop in a more demanding competitive environment. The information was reported by Record.

In addition to Gil Vicente’s interest, Diogo Prioste has also attracted the attention of other Primeira Liga clubs. Glorioso 1904 has learned exclusively that Alverca are closely monitoring the situation of the midfielder and intend to move forward with a loan deal, looking to strengthen their midfield for the 2026/27 season.

As such, Benfica are expected to assess the different options before making a decision, prioritising the project that offers the player the strongest guarantees of playing time and development. On Alverca’s side, the good relationship between the clubs is a positive factor in the negotiations.

Last season, Diogo Prioste made two appearances for Benfica’s first team. For the B team, meanwhile, he played 27 official matches, scoring four goals and providing seven assists, confirming the progress he has shown in recent seasons while representing the Lisbon club.
