Benfica in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[4]

On 11 August 2019, Correia played his first match in the Primeira Liga, featuring the entire 1–1 draw at C.S. Marítimo.[7]

Valencia

On 2 September 2019, Correia signed a five-year contract with Valencia CF for a €12 million transfer fee.[8] [9] He made his Spanish La Liga debut later that month, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–3 home draw against Getafe CF.[10]

Correia scored his first goal as a senior on 7 January 2021, closing a 4–1 away victory over Yeclano Deportivo in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[11] His first in the league came on 9 May, in the 3–0 home defeat of Real Valladolid.[12]
