Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica eye Amorim, Famalicão want big money | OneFootball

Benfica are interested in signing Mathias De Amorim and have already made contact with a view to a possible transfer of the young Famalicão midfielder, Glorioso 1904 understands. The structure led by Rui Costa sees the Portugal Under-21 international as one of its targets to strengthen the midfield, but negotiations are far from concluded.

According to what our newspaper has learned, Famalicão will only consider letting him leave for a fee in the region of €20 million. The club’s board views the player as one of the squad’s main assets and does not intend to make the transfer easy, setting a price considered far too high by Benfica’s officials.

Despite that difference in positions, Benfica have not given up on the signing and continue to hold talks, trying to find a solution that will bring the two sides closer together. The Eagles believe there is room for negotiation, but at this stage they are not willing to come close to the amount demanded by the Minho club.

Benfica’s board sees the player as an investment for both the present and the future. Even so, the case remains open and is expected to see further developments in the coming weeks, at a time when Marco Silva has already begun work at Seixal.

In the 2025/26 season, wearing the Famalicão shirt, Mathias de Amorim — valued at €10 million — made 33 appearances: 30 in Liga Portugal Betclic and three in the Portuguese Cup (2,634 minutes), in which he recorded five goals and two assists.
