Daniel Banjaqui, a 17-year-old right-back, has just begun to take his first steps with Benfica's first team and is already attracting the interest of European giants. According to German Sky Sports, Bayern Munich has added him to their list of targets for the upcoming summer transfer market. With a contract valid until 2027, the young Portuguese player is currently developing mainly with Benfica's B team but has already made three appearances for the first team. He has been informed of Bayern's interest, as have his representatives. Banjaqui is seen as one of the emerging talents in his position: fast, physically strong, and offensively minded, he fits the profile of the modern full-back that the German giant is looking for. However, despite the interest in the Benfica player, Bayern's priority remains Givairo Read from Feyenoord, although negotiations have not made any concrete progress. The Dutchman has been dealing with some physical issues throughout the season, and the high number of interested clubs significantly increases the overall value of the operation. Meanwhile, the right-back dossier is also dependent on the situation of Konrad Laimer. The 28-year-old Austrian international has a contract until 2027, and Bayern intends to renew his contract, but discussions are currently stalled due to salary disagreements. If Laimer chooses to leave, it will force the club to look for a replacement. In this context, Banjaqui emerges as a future option, fitting into a logic of investment and appreciation. For now, there are no formal negotiations between the clubs, but the mere fact that the U-17 World Cup champion with Portugal is on the shortlist of the German champions—after already being linked to Barcelona—confirms that the young full-back is starting to establish himself as another product to watch in the European landscape.
