Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Benfica starlet set for first-team chances | OneFootball

Benfica will give Leandro Santos opportunities in the club’s first team at Luz. Our newspaper reveals, in this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, that the right-back will get minutes under Bruno Lage this season, especially due to the lack of options in that position on the field.

According to information obtained from a source close to the process, the fact that Alexander Bah is sidelined with an injury forces Amar Dedic to be used extensively. With the Bosnian also injured, Tomás Araújo has returned to the right flank, but Lage has other plans.

As previously reported, the youngster was moved down to the B team due to a lack of opportunities under Lage, but he has been informed by the club’s management that there will be minutes to compete for with the main squad, although he does not have a guaranteed spot.

In the 24/25 sports season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Leandro Santos – currently valued at 1 million euros – featured in 32 matches: 20 in the Second League, five in the UEFA Youth League, three in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the Premier League International Cup, and one with the under-23 team.
