Chelsea and Liverpool have expressed interest in signing highly rated Portuguese U21 international fullback Daniel Banjaqui from Benfica, according to TEAMtalk. Banjaqui has emerged as Benfica’s latest academy prospect, making waves, and could join Joao Felix, Joao Neves, Bernardo Silva and several others in moving to other top European clubs.
After impressing in the academy ranks, former head coach Jose Mourinho brought him into the first-team fold and handed him his first debut in a 2–0 Taça de Portugal win over S.C.
He has since featured six times for Benfica’s senior side, including three appearances so far this season. One of his standout displays came in the 2-0 Champions League victory over AC Milan, where the 18-year-old delivered an impressive all-round performance.
