Amorim demands Milan signings, targets Benfica star ahead of Silva | OneFootball

António Silva’s future remains shrouded in uncertainty. After rejecting the latest renewal offer put forward by Benfica, the Portugal international has come onto the radar of several European clubs, at a time when his contract with the Eagles runs until the end of the 2026/27 season.

With no agreement between the parties, the centre-back could, from January onwards, sign a pre-contract with any interested club and leave on a free transfer the following summer. This scenario has caught the attention of several clubs, including Milan, who recently began a new era under the management of Ruben Amorim.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Jorge Mendes is already working on finding a solution for the Portugal international, and it is precisely in that context that the possibility of a move to the historic Milan club has emerged.

So far, no formal offer has reached Benfica’s offices at the Luz. However, Milan’s directors believe that António Silva’s refusal to renew could lead Benfica to accept negotiating the player for a lower fee than initially expected, thus avoiding the risk of losing him without any financial compensation.

The 22-year-old defender is therefore still being closely monitored by Milan. In addition to António Silva, the rossoneri also have Gonçalo Inácio on their list of potential signings. However, signing the Sporting centre-back appears far more complicated, as he recently renewed his contract until 2030 and the Lions have shown no intention whatsoever of negotiating the departure of one of the team’s key pillars.
