Chelsea is closely monitoring the performance of Gianluca Prestianni, a young Argentine attacking midfielder from Benfica, in order to strengthen their offense in the short term. The next signing for Chelsea will be a forward to rotate with Palmer and Rogers.

As confirmed by TEAMtalk, the board at Stamford Bridge is leading the monitoring of the Argentine international, whose contract in Portugal sets a release clause of 100 million euros and a market value of 40.00 million euros on Transfermarkt.

The Performance of Gianluca Prestianni at Benfica and Competition in the Premier League

The 20-year-old forward joined Benfica in January 2024 from Vélez Sarsfield for 9 million euros, earning 1 cap with the Argentina national team. His progress in the Portuguese league has led scouts from Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Brighton to gather sports data in recent weeks.

Although there are no formal offers at present, British clubs are in an active observation phase to determine if the player is ready to move to the Premier League.

Benfica's Strategy to Shield Gianluca Prestianni's Contract

Aware of the reports compiled by Chelsea's scouts, Benfica's executives are preparing a proposal to renew the player's contract long-term. The Portuguese board intends to increase the forward's earnings and secure the 100 million euros release clause to retain him against a British offensive.

The Lisbon management deems it essential to ensure the forward remains at least until the conclusion of the 2026-2027 season.

Stamford Bridge's Financial Planning for the Forward Line

Chelsea's board is assessing the economic feasibility of the operation before making the final move with the Portuguese club. The planned sale of two attacking players in the summer market would provide the necessary budget margin to structure an installment offer for the player.

The London executives believe the projection of the Argentine player aligns with the club's policy of recruiting young talents.

Chelsea's analysts will attend the winger's matches with Benfica in both the domestic league and the Champions League during October and November 2026.

If the Portuguese board does not finalize the renewal of the Argentine attacking midfielder, Chelsea will vigorously pursue his acquisition to make him part of Xabi Alonso's project.
