Club career

Benfica

Born in Vila Franca de Xira, Lisbon District, Cavaleiro played youth football for five clubs, notably representing S.L. Benfica from ages 13–18, a loan spell notwithstanding. He made his senior debuts in the 2012–13 season, playing his first Segunda Liga match with the reserves on 11 August 2012 against S.C. Braga B.[1] The following weekend he scored his first goal(s) as a professional, grabbing a brace in a 4–2 away win over C.D. Feirense,[2] and added another two before the end of the month, in a 6–0 home routing of C.F. Os Belenenses;[3] he finished his first year with 38 appearances and 12 goals, helping his team to the seventh position.

Cavaleiro started his second season with Benfica B in fashion, netting seven times in ten games and earning the Second Division Player of the Month award for August/September.[4] He made his official debut for the main squad on 19 October 2013, playing the full 90 minutes against CD Cinfães for the Portuguese Cup and assisting Ola John for the game's only goal; only four days later, he appeared in his maiden match in the UEFA Champions League, playing the second half of a 1–1 home draw against Olympiacos F.C. for the group stage.[5]

On 15 January 2014, Cavaleiro scored his first competitive goal for Benfica, netting the last in a 2–0 win against Leixões S.C. for the campaign's Portuguese League Cup.[6] On 7 August, he was loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain, for one year.[7] He made his debut on the first day of the La Liga season, opening the scoring in a 1–2 defeat at Granada CF.[8]

Monaco

On 10 July 2015, Cavaleiro joined AS Monaco FC on a permanent deal until 2020,[9] for a transfer fee rumoured to be €15 million.[10] He made his debut on the 28th, starting in a 3–1 away win over BSC Young Boys in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, and scored his first goal in the second leg, opening a 4–0 victory at the Stade Louis II.[11]

Cavaleiro made his debut for the under-21s on 14 August 2013, netting a hat-trick in a 5–2 friendly win against Switzerland.[15] On 27 June 2015, he scored Portugal's third goal in a 5–0 win against Germany in the semi-finals of the European Championship in Czech Republic.[16] He was named in the Team of the Tournament, in an eventual runner-up finish.[17]
