Benjamin Pauwels, on loan to Casa Pia in Portugal 

C.D. Leganés and Portugal’s Casa Pia A.C. have agreed to a one-season loan deal for 21-year-old Belgian winger Benjamin Pauwels. The Belgian U-21 international will play on loan this season in the Portuguese First Division, with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Pauwels joined Leganés last summer from the Dutch club Cambuur, appearing in twelve official matches for the “Pepineros” during the first half of last season. In January, he went on loan to Volendam, gaining playing time in his first stint in the Eredivisie, the top division in the Netherlands.

After spending this preseason back at Leganés, Pauwels is now heading to Liga Portugal to play for Lisbon-based Casa Pia during the 2026–27 season. The club wishes him the best of luck in the coming months.
