Marco Silva wants to bring Fulham's top scorer to Benfica | OneFootball

Welsh forward Harry Wilson is one of the players Marco Silva intends to bring with him to Benfica. The winger’s contract with Fulham expires at the end of June, which could allow him to arrive at Luz on a free transfer, joining the coach in this new adventure.

with 10 goals in 36 matches, in addition to seven assists in England. The information was reported by Correio da Manhã.

Apart from Harry Wilson, Jorge Cuenca’s name has also regained momentum in recent days. The Spanish defender, who has also previously worked with Marco Silva, has emerged as one of the options linked to the new project, being seen as a versatile solution to strengthen the heart of the Eagles’ defense.

At the same time, the Portuguese coach remains involved in managing the current squad, with special attention on the Georgiy Sudakov file. While in an initial phase the Ukrainian midfielder was considered transferable by José Mourinho, Marco Silva’s arrival could change that scenario, as the coach sees him as a potentially key piece for next season.

For now, the Benfica hierarchy’s strategy is to keep the core of the squad available until the official start of the season. The aim is to allow Marco Silva, who is getting ever closer to taking charge of the Eagles, to assess the group before final decisions are made regarding arrivals and departures.
