Benfica hero leaves Premier League, makes return | OneFootball

Luis Semedo, a forward who completed his entire training process at Benfica, is the new reinforcement of Moreirense. The 22-year-old player made his name in the history of the Reds by scoring the winning goal in the 2022 Under-20 Intercontinental Tournament, in a 1-0 victory over Peñarol.

The Benfica-trained forward transferred to Sunderland in 2023 for 500,000 euros, but has yet to convince the structure of the newly promoted Premier League emblem. The English decided to loan him to Moreirense, of the Primeira Liga, a club led by Vasco Botelho da Costa, and has already visited the facilities of the minhotos.

Luis Semedo will join the current third-placed team in the championship. Moreirense, with a new coach in command, has won all the matchdays so far, and has been the sensation team of this edition of the Primeira Liga. Vasco Botelho da Costa now gains another option for the attack.

At Benfica, Luis Semedo completed his entire training process, from the youth teams to the B team. Although he never made his debut in the main squad, the young forward left the Luz with beautiful memories, due to the historic goal he scored in the final of the 2022 Under-20 Intercontinental Tournament. He was also part of the Youth League conquest in the same year.

Last season, while serving the Juventus under-23 team, the young forward - currently valued at 500,000 euros - played 28 games in the Italian third division, scoring only two goals and no assists. Luis Semedo has a contract with Sunderland until 2028.
