Gustavo Varela, the forward of Gil Vicente, returns to Benfica after a season on loan at the Primeira Liga club. The 21-year-old player was valued at 3 million euros and played 33 games for Gil Vicente's team, scoring seven goals and providing three assists. The Benfica coach, Marco Silva, wants to see him in action during the pre-season and will evaluate the player's performance to make a final decision about his presence in the main squad for the next season. Benfica is also considering the possibility of a player exit if a proposal considered advantageous for all parties arises.
