Benfica turn attention to Italian keeper

Benfica are already looking to add some depth to their keeper department and have turned their sights on 21 year old Bari keeper Elia Caprile who has caught the attention of many of Europe's clubs with his performances this season for the Serie B club. Caprile came through the Chievo youth system before moving to Leeds United during the winter transfer market of 2020.

Caprile joined Bari this past summer and has appeared in 21 games across all competitions, maintaining seven clean sheets this season. With Benfica back up Helton Leite set to depart this transfer window looking for more playing time, Benfica could be looking to groom the 21 year old for the future starting role at the club as current number one keeper Vlachodimos continues to garner interest from European clubs.
