Portugal u18 and Benfica player, Goncalo Guedes, is apparently being scouted by few Champions League contenders.

With only one game for the senior team, the left winger had already established himself among the big names. Guedes was promoted to Benfica B in August and assisted twice in the first game of the season.

Great performances continued, with the teenager featuring the first team less than three months later. Taca de Portugal, or the Portuguese cup, was where the current champions were facing Corvilha. No. 78 replaced injured Ola John on the field in the 25th minute and played his first match for the seniors until the last whisle.

Benfica board have acted quickly to put a £23.5m release clause to his contract. So, either the wonderkid will spend some more time at Estadio da Luz or he will move to a bigger club for an enormous amount of money soon.

Arsenal, Bayern, Borussia, PSG and AC Milan all see him as their future signing. According to Transfermarkt, German vice-champions from Dortmund are, alongside Arsenal, the only club to officially show interest for the talent.
