Good luck for the season, Goncalo 🤝

Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: "After the tough period Goncalo had with the injury last year, it's important for him to go out and get as many minutes as possible, in an environment he knows well, at a club which knows him well – they've been a big part of his rehab, so it's a move which makes sense.

"We had to make sure he was going to play enough, and with all the competitions Benfica are in, he's going to play a lot of games. He's just become a father for the first time and now has a son there, so he'll be happy off the pitch, which will hopefully allow him to perform on it.

"Also, the fact we can use his wages to hopefully supplement other deals this last week can only be a positive for us. It frees up money to be spent elsewhere and gives him an opportunity to play games."
