Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Samuel Soares gets update on his Benfica future | OneFootball

Benfica will move forward with renewing Samuel Soares’ contract. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the intention of the club’s management is to extend their relationship with the 23-year-old, who has been a choice for Bruno Lage at the start of the 2025/26 season.

Samuel Soares’ current contract with Benfica runs until 2027, with the last renewal taking place in October 2022, already under Rui Costa’s leadership. At that time, the goalkeeper did not hide his happiness: “It’s a feeling of pride and it shows the trust the Club places in me.”

Now, almost three years later, and after a development that did not go as Samuel Soares – who recently received high praise – expected, the goalkeeper is set to extend his contract with Benfica, having reportedly received a promise from Bruno Lage that he will be an option in many matches this season, as has indeed been happening.

In the transfer market that closed last Monday, Samuel Soares was targeted by several clubs. However, Benfica, with Rui Costa and the team’s coach leading the way, refused to let go of the 21-year-old player, placing total trust in the abilities of the Portuguese U21 international.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Samuel Soares – valued at 4 million euros – started in two matches for Bruno Lage’s team, both in Liga Portugal Betclic, against Tondela and Alverca. On both occasions, the 23-year-old goalkeeper made an excellent impression.
