Here are some of the players that have come through our academy:

Considered one of the best midfielders in the world, Silva is known for his unique combination of creativity, dribbling, stamina, versatility, and work-rate. He is ambassador for our foundation.
João Félix
AC Milan
A superstar for Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, Chelsea paid €126 million for him, the 4th highest in history, at only 19 years of age. After a stint at Barcelona, he is now with Italian giants AC Milan.

Born in Brazil, but with Benfica since 15, Ederson honed his craft with us, winning 2 Chanpionships before moving to England where he won 6 x Premier League titles and 3 x Golden Glove.
