Gianluca Prestianni remains at Benfica despite interest from many clubs, including Barcelona, during the transfer window. Benfica plans to closely monitor his development without rushing or pressuring him into a move to another team. Prestianni was signed by Benfica a year ago from Vélez Sarsfield for €9.5 million, including intermediary services. He has a contract until 2029 with a release clause of €100 million.
