Diogo Prioste is being considered as a potential midfield reinforcement for Gil Vicente for the upcoming season. A position became available in the squad after Luís Esteves left for Atlas in Mexico. A BOLA reports that the 22-year-old midfielder is not in Marco Silva's plans for his first season managing Benfica. The report adds that Prioste is consequently expected to be loaned out to acquire more playing time and competitive experience. Prioste is a Portuguese youth international who was the captain of Benfica's B team last season and holds a contract with the club until 2029. The move to Barcelos is presented as a potential opportunity for him. During the 2025/2026 season, he played in 26 matches in Liga Portugal 2, where he scored 4 goals and made 7 assists, and also had 2 appearances in Liga Portugal.
