Gianluca Prestianni, born on 31 January 2006 (age 20), is an Argentine right winger whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Benfica. Compact at 5ft 5in (1.65m), he is a small-framed wide player rather than the usual modern unit, which gives his game a different look.
Benfica is where the substance of his record sits. Across four league seasons he has made 44 league appearances and scored eight goals, with the 2026-27 campaign already his most productive in front of goal. He has scored five times in six Liga Portugal appearances this season, and has added three goals in three Europa League qualifier appearances.
Across all competitions for Benfica in 2026-27, Prestianni has eight goals in nine appearances. He has also represented Argentina this season, making four Club World Cup appearances. His career is still early, but the shape of it is clear enough: an Argentine winger building his senior reputation through Benfica, with his current season providing the clearest evidence of progress.
