António Silva’s Benfica future in doubt again | OneFootball

Benfica will make another attempt to renew António Silva's contract. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that, after the market closes, the parties will meet again, and an agreement to extend the contract of the 21-year-old center-back, who was trained at Clube da Luz, could be just around the corner.

“António Silva had some interested parties, but with the market closing, renewal is the most likely scenario,” reveals a source familiar with the process, indicating the status of the 21-year-old athlete's process, who is one of the most used by Bruno Lage at the start of this season.

Until the market closed, and with a possible departure on the table, António Silva, through his agent Jorge Mendes, informed Benfica that he was not available to discuss contract renewal.

However, with the transfer market closed and his consequent continuity at Benfica, the Eagles will meet again with the Portuguese international, who, after some high-level performances with the Sacred Mantle, regained Roberto Martínez's trust and was called up to the National Team.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, António Silva – valued at 32 million euros – has played in 7 matches: four in the Champions League, two in the Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 552 minutes he was Bruno Lage's choice, the center-back performed at a high level.

António Silva has received many praises:
