Pedro Sousa assures that Rui Costa wants the return of a name well-known to Benfica fans. Today, November 13, the Record journalist revealed that the President of Benfica has opened the doors for a possible return of Rafa Silva, a player who has been experiencing turbulent times at Besiktas.

The news was announced by Pedro Sousa, live on the NOW channel, where he stated that there is a strong possibility that the former Portuguese international could return to the Luz emblem, just one season after moving to Besiktas on a free transfer.

During his report, the journalist acknowledged that despite some friction between the footballer and Rui Costa over contract renewal issues during the 2023/24 season, he added that the President, re-elected on November 9, would have the doors open for the athlete's return.

Receiving a salary well above Benfica's means, Rafa Silva, according to Pedro Sousa, if he receives an offer that meets his expectations, is open to returning to Benfica; however, it is still unknown if both parties have had any contact, but the Besiktas player has been in Portugal in recent days.

This possibility arises at a time when Rafa Silva - valued at 7 million euros - has clashed with the Istanbul emblem, as he is dissatisfied with Besiktas' current situation. Additionally, reports suggest that the athlete is considering ending his career.
