There is a Brazilian footballer at Benfica who, unfortunately, is not having as much importance as he should in the Portuguese team. It would be João Victor, a 25-year-old central defender who joined Benfica in 2022 from Corinthians for a figure close to 9.50 million euros.

Therefore, it is not surprising that João Victor is generating interest in Brazil, since there would be teams interested in signing him on loan.
