Samuel Soares nears new Benfica contract
Benfica and their 24-year-old goalkeeper are close to agreeing renewal terms, with regular starts this season having eased his earlier reluctance to extend.
Samuel Soares is close to a new contract at Benfica, according to Record, with both sides now confident terms will be settled shortly.
The Portuguese goalkeeper, 24, had been reluctant to extend his stay at the Luz. His current deal runs to the end of next season, and talks had stalled. The start of 2026/27 changed that: regular starts between the posts have persuaded him to stay.
No length or figures for the new deal have been reported.
