Benfica Starlet Tiago Dantas in Line for Potential January Switch to Manchester City

Benfica starlet Tiago Dantas has reportedly opened the door to a move to the Premier League, with Manchester City said to be interested in the Portuguese prospect.

Dantas has starred for Benfica’s youth side this term and is regarded in his homeland as one of the brightest young stars to have come through the ranks with the Lisbon-based club in recent times.

However, the 18-year-old’s current deal at the Estadio da Luz is due to expire in June. As reported by O Jogo, Dantas is unlikely to pen fresh terms with his current club as the youngster is said to be pessimistic in terms of making the grade with Benfica’s senior team.
