Benfica defender Daniel Banjaqui has emerged as a transfer target for several major European clubs.

In late September, Liverpool FC expressed interest in the 18-year-old right-back as a long-term developmental prospect. Reports indicated Benfica set a minimum asking price of €50 million for the player. 

By mid-October, Real Sociedad joined the pursuit, reportedly establishing informal contact through intermediaries to assess the feasibility of a move. While Benfica sought at least 35 million euros for negotiations, Banjaqui’s contract includes a release clause of 45 million euros. Real Sociedad faces competition from various clubs across the Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga.
