When Luis Castro started as coach of Benfica’s under-23s, he had plenty of talent at his disposal.While striker Joao Neves has been linked with a big money move to Manchester Unitedand Morato are the first team stars at the Estadio Da Luz. Another protégé, Goncalo Ramos, broke through at PSG alongside Cher Ndour, who both left Portugal for France.

For a young player of his quality – who is getting better and better – that would be a lot for Celtic. I’ve trained many good players and Paulo is definitely one of them, I worked with Silva and Morato with Neves, who is now in the first team of Benfica..
