Benfica announces departure of Diogo Capitão, a defender who represented the eagles since he was 10 years old

Benfica announced this Monday the departure of Diogo Capitão, a defender who represented the eagles since he was 10 years old and who has never worn another jersey.

The player was even the captain of the B team, for which he made 32 appearances last season.

“I look back and it went by fast. It seems that even now he was training on the fields next to Estádio da Luz. It’s been many years at home and it’s hard to leave the club, but I’m going to move on with my life», said the player in a video posted by Benfica on social media.
