15 Nov
Summary
- Prestianni's contract extension until 2031 now confirmed.
- PSG, Bayern, Arsenal, and others were reportedly interested.
- The young forward's current deal was set to expire in 2029.
SL Benfica is poised to secure the long-term future of promising forward Gianluca Prestianni. The 20-year-old Argentine's current contract was originally set to conclude in 2029, but a new agreement is reportedly in place, extending his stay with the Portuguese club until the summer of 2031. This development comes as a significant blow to several major European clubs who had been linked with a move for the talented player.
Paris Saint-Germain, in particular, has been notably interested, having previously acquired Joao Neves from Benfica. However, interest in Prestianni was not limited to the French champions, with Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa also reportedly monitoring his situation. The extended contract signifies Benfica's commitment to retaining their young star amidst a competitive transfer market.
