Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are among seven top Premier League clubs monitoring the highly-rated Benfica teenager Daniel Banjaqui. The 17-year-old defender is also being watched by Chelsea and Manchester City, who have been made aware of his situation, while Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are being kept informed. Interest in the player is not limited to England. Bayern Munich and Barcelona have reportedly been pursuing Banjaqui for several months, and it is understood that they have already held discussions over a potential deal. Banjaqui, who made his senior debut in December, has one year remaining on the deal he signed in 2024. Negotiations between Benfica and the player over a new long-term agreement have so far not resulted in an agreement, and sources admit that the likelihood of a summer transfer will increase significantly if a new deal is not secured soon.
