Porto join race for Tottenham Brazilian wanted by Benfica | OneFootball

It is already known that Benfica have moved from intention to action and placed a concrete offer for the transfer of Souza, the Brazilian left-back, in Tottenham’s hands. However, there is another club interested in the Brazilian, and it is one well known to the Eagles.

According to Maisfutebol, Porto are Benfica’s rival in this negotiation. The blue-and-white club want to strengthen the left-back position, and the 20-year-old is a player who has been monitored by the SAD led by André Villas-Boas for quite some time.

It is worth remembering that this rumour has emerged just six months after the young Brazilian prospect joined the London club from Santos for 15 million euros. At this moment, Rui Costa’s bid is said to be in the region of 20 million euros.

With a contract valid until June 2031, the left-footer caught the attention of several European clubs when, in 2024, he was promoted to Santos’ first team. The move to the Old Continent ultimately came through Tottenham, but so far the experience has not gone at all as either side had hoped. The Brazilian was rarely used by Spurs last season.

In the 2025/26 season, while at Tottenham, João Victor Souza - valued at 12 million euros.
