The German press reported on Borussia Dortmund's interest in 18-year-old Portuguese right-back Daniel Banjaqui. Dortmund is one of several top European clubs monitoring him since his important role in the U-17 World Cup. Other clubs, such as Barcelona, Arsenal, and Napoli, have also inquired about the conditions for a potential transfer. Despite these inquiries, none of the clubs have made a formal proposal for the player. After the international competition, the player received several approaches but never considered not renewing with his club, as he felt it was important to establish himself there before moving abroad. His current contract with SL Benfica runs until 2031, and he has 5 caps and 2 goals for Portugal U21. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €10.00m. Recent reports from October 2026 mention conflicting release clauses of €45 million and €80 million, with some suggesting Benfica would consider offers starting at €35 million, while a September 2026 report cited an asking price of at least €50 million.
