Manchester United is one of seven top Premier League clubs monitoring 17-year-old Benfica defender Daniel Banjaqui, as interest in him increases. Liverpool and Arsenal are also among the interested English clubs. Intermediaries have recently informed Chelsea and Manchester City about his situation. Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are also being kept informed of developments. The pursuit is not confined to England. It is reported that the German club Bayern Munich and the Spanish side Barcelona have been leading the pursuit for several months, and it is understood they have held discussions regarding a potential deal. Banjaqui has one year remaining on the contract he signed in 2024, and negotiations with Benfica for a new long-term agreement have not yet been successful. According to sources, the probability of a transfer this summer will increase significantly if a new deal is not secured soon.
