Benfica is considering loaning Gianluca Prestianni due to his limited playtime. The club wants to ensure he can play regularly to continue his development.

Bruno Lage, the coach of Benfica, did not clarify the future of young forwards including Gianluca Prestianni, who have been underutilized. During a press conference, he mentioned that their future is part of the plan and hinted at a potential loan without confirming any details. Prestianni shared an enigmatic image on social media with an hourglass symbol, indicating that time is counting down, possibly hinting at an impending decision.

There is a possibility of Prestianni being loaned out in January due to lack of playtime since September.

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