Martim Neto, a player trained at Benfica, will be loaned to Rio Ave for the current season. The announcement was made by the Vila do Conde team this Monday and, as reported by A BOLA, it should be a deal with a purchase option.

Martim Neto, a 21-year-old midfielder from Benfica, is reportedly on the verge of joining Rio Ave on loan with an option to buy. Although the deal has not yet been finalized, it is progressing well. Martim Neto was an unused substitute in the recent match against Moreirense, which ended in a 1-1 draw on Friday. In the previous season, he was loaned to Gil Vicente, where he made 33 appearances, scored one goal, and provided two assists. Despite participating in preseason with Roger Schmidt's squad, he currently lacks a place in Benfica's main team, which already has numerous options in the midfield.
