Gianluca Prestianni Gross

Gianluca Prestianni attacks space and drives at defenders from Benfica’s frontline, weaving runs beyond the line and threatening the channel. He first broke through as a teenager, with a professional debut in May 2022 for Vélez Sarsfield at age 16. Gianluca Prestianni keeps evolving rapidly. In October 2023 he earned global recognition from The Guardian as a top talent born in 2006 and then moved to Benfica in January 2024 for a seven-figure fee. He helped Argentina sustain momentum at the youth level and later earned a senior Argentina call-up in November 2025. The forward thrives as an inside forward or right winger, pressing high and creating chances for Benfica when space opens. He finishes moves with pace, checks short then spins in behind, and links play with one-touch layoffs to threaten the back post for quick finishes.
