António Silva could leave Benfica for far less than his clause | OneFootball

Benfica is open to negotiating António Silva well below the release clause (100 million euros). In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our newspaper reports that an offer in the range of 30/40 million euros might be enough to take the Portuguese international from the Eagles.

After excellent performances in the Club World Cup and a good start to the season, António Silva's performance level has been declining. The Benfica central defender sometimes makes mistakes that compromise the team, as happened, for example, against Newcastle.

Beyond the performance issue, there is also the difficulty in contract renewal negotiations, which ends in June 2027. Jorge Mendes – who in the past slammed the door and threatened a move to Juventus if António Silva didn't get more playing time – is not making things easy, and all scenarios are on the table.

António Silva has some Premier League clubs closely following his performances at Benfica. In this regard, Rui Costa is considering negotiating the central defender in the transfer market, and in this scenario, the Reds might make a move in the off-season to find a replacement.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, António Silva – currently valued at 32 million euros – has played 17 matches (1,435 minutes): seven in the Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup.
