Gonçalo Oliveira (Benfica)
October 2025
Barcelona are considering a move for 19-year-old center-back Gonçalo Oliveira. Sporting director Deco has already met with Benfica representatives, seeing him as a potential long-term defensive asset despite the position not being a current top priority for the Catalans.
Oliveira is contracted at Benfica until 2027, meaning a deal would likely require a sizeable fee. Barça’s transfer strategy under Deco prioritizes high-potential talents, and the teenager fits that profile, making him a player the club may track closely heading into the next window.
