António Silva confirms Benfica offer, no new deal yet: "..." | OneFootball

António Silva confirmed publicly for the first time that he has already received a renewal offer from Benfica. The centre-back also revealed that there are still regular contacts between his representatives and the club’s SAD, although no decision has yet been made regarding his future.

Speaking to the YouTube channel JOliveira10, the Portugal international admitted that talks are ongoing, but refused to commit to an immediate outcome. “Will I renew with Benfica? I don’t know, I still don’t know. There is an offer from the club that was presented to me in the last week of the season, before the game against Estoril. At the moment there are constant contacts between my agents and the club. The future is never guaranteed, because in football things change very quickly,” he said.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the renewal, António Silva was keen to reinforce the emotional bond he has with the club where he completed all of his development. Asked about the possibility of continuing with the eagle on his chest, the 22-year-old centre-back did not hide his affection for Benfica. “Benfica is my club. I will always be happy at Benfica because it’s what I like, it’s what I love the most,” he stressed.

The Portugal international also took the opportunity to explain that a possible renewal does not depend only on salary or contractual issues, highlighting the responsibility associated with a long-term commitment to the club: “There are many things that carry weight. In a contract, it’s not just the release clause or the salary that matters. A lot goes into it because renewing with Benfica is a huge responsibility,” he said.
