Prestianni was initially considered for a loan but is now a strong candidate to replace Rafa.

There was interest from PSV Eindhoven. Prestianni wanted to play more compared to his current playtime in Portugal. However, the decision has been made, and Prestianni will be part of Benfica's first team.

Benfica is also evaluating the possibility of loaning Gianluca Prestianni back to Argentina, with several clubs from the country having inquired about the player's situation.

Some teams in Turkey are considering moving forward with a loan for the 18-year-old winger from Benfica. Benfica is willing to negotiate with clubs that guarantee minutes for the Argentine attacker.
