From a quick glance, Portugal are 7th favourites for Euro 2020 at 14/1. They have a really good team all over the pitch now if they can find a centre half that isn't 35.

Ronaldo's last tournament too? He'll be a man on a mission if so

Ruben Dias who played last night is supposed to be decent, but I guess they need another centre back to partner him.

Rúben Dias and Ferro will be Portugal's CBs for many years. They play together for about 8 years now, after joining Benfica youth system in 2008 and 2011 respectively. Both born in 1997. Both starters for Benfica.

 

I prefer Ferro (better on the ball) but Rúben Dias reached Benfica and Portugal's first team sooner. Pepe will be 37 and José Fonte 36 at Euro 2020 and are rapidly declining so was surprising to see Ferro out of the list for the UEFA Nations League final four. Hopefully he will start being called for the national team before Euro 2020.

 

There are many decent under 30y players across all positions:

 

GK: Anthony Lopes (28y, Lyon)

 

CB: Ruben Dias (22y, Benfica), Ferro (22y, Benfica), Diogo Leite (20y, Porto), Diogo Queirós (20y, Porto)

 

FB: Nelson Semedo (25y, Barcelona), João Cancelo (25y, Juventus), Raphael Guerreiro (25y, Borussia Dortmund), Ricardo Pereira (25y, Leicester), Diogo Dalot (20y, Man. United), Mário Rui (28y, Napoli), Rúben Vinagre (20y, Wolverhampton)

 

CM: Danilo (27y, Porto), William Carvalho (27y, Betis), Ruben Neves (22y, Wolverhampton), Renato Sanches (21y, Bayern), Gedson Fernandes (20y, Benfica), Florentino Luís (19y, Benfica)

 

OM: Bernardo Silva (24y, Man. City), Bruno Fernandes (24y, Sporting), Pizzi (29y, Benfica), João Mário (26y, Inter), João Carvalho (22y, Nottingham Forest)

 

Wingers: Rafa Silva (26y, Benfica), Diogo Jota (22y, Wolverhampton), Gelson Martins (24y, Monaco), Bruma (24y, Leipzig), Rony Lopes (23y, Monaco), Hélder Costa (25y, Wolverhampton)

 

Forwards: Gonçalo Guedes (22y, Valência), João Félix (19y, Benfica), André Silva (23y, Milan), Rafael Leão (20y, Lille)

 

Looking at players over 30y old, the only who should start are Rui Patrício (31y), Cristiano Ronaldo (34y) and (sometimes) Moutinho (32y). Pepe and José Fonte are naturally declining and should be on the bench during Euro2020.
