Benfica is reportedly interested in acquiring the services of Cleiton, a 21-year-old central defender currently playing for Flamengo. Cleiton's contract with Flamengo runs until the end of 2025, which will enable him to sign with another club starting in July. Journalist Venê Casagrande, through his YouTube channel, has reported on the interest in Cleiton. The new director of Benfica, José Boto, who has previously been associated with the club, is already informed about the situation. Flamengo is attempting to swiftly negotiate a contract renewal for Cleiton, despite his participation in only 5 matches for the main team in 2024. Cleiton is recognized for his left-footedness and considerable height, measuring 1.94 meters.
