A Bola reports that Samuel Soares has a new contract extension with Benfica. The 23-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper's contract extension process was concluded a few weeks ago. The goalkeeper extended his contract for one more season, now valid until June 2028. The previous renewal, for five years, had set the contractual term for June 2027. The new contract includes a salary increase. Samuel Soares was among the lowest-paid players in the squad and now has improved financial conditions. This is considered a reward for his attitude and for staying at Benfica when he could have left for more playing time, either in Portugal or abroad. Soares has 17 caps for the Portugal U21 team and has made 2 appearances in the current Liga Portugal season. His market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
