The pair of stoppers both play regularly for their respective clubs and the club feels they would push current number one keeper Vlachodimos, who had an excellent season for the League Champions. Benfica could lean to the 21 year old Caprile over Bento, as not only is he the younger of the two but he could also be had at a cheaper price.

Benfica should consider pursuing Casa Pia left-back Leonardo Lelo this summer as a replacement for long time starter Alex Grimaldo who is departing to Germany and leaving a gaping hole in the clubs starting XI for next season. The 23-year-old Portuguese player has been making waves in the Liga with his impressive performances and is a player who could snag the open spot on the clubs squad.
Lelo is known for his pace, dribbling skills and ability to deliver accurate crosses into the box. These attributes make him an ideal candidate for Benfica's attacking style of play. Moreover, Lelo's age makes him a valuable long-term investment for Benfica. He still has plenty of room for growth and development as a player, which could benefit both himself and the club in the future.
Lelo appeared in 37 games across all competitions for Casa Pia this season, scoring once while proving six helpers in 2571 minutes of action.
The 24 year old Castellanos has spent the season on loan with Girona from MLS club New York City FC and has shone for the Spanish side scoring 13 goals, with four in one game, while providing one helper for the tenth placed club. Castellanos is said to be valued at €10M.
