According to a report from A Bola, Barcelona showed interest in Daniel Banjaqui, and Benfica beat competition from some European clubs, including Barcelona, to retain the young player.

According to Team Talk, Barcelona is pursuing Daniel Banjaqui from Benfica, and the outlet states that the club has been leading the pursuit for several months. It is understood that Barcelona has already held discussions regarding a potential deal. Banjaqui has one year remaining on the contract he signed with Benfica in 2024, and negotiations between the two parties have not yet resulted in an agreement. Sources admit that if a new deal is not secured soon, the probability of a summer transfer will increase significantly.

It was reported on January 10 that Barcelona was monitoring the situation of Daniel Banjaqui, whose contract renewal process with Benfica had stalled, leading to growing interest from several top European clubs. Chelsea and Liverpool were also attentive to the player's circumstances.
