Attention, Benfica! New details emerge on Rafa Silva’s Besiktas saga | OneFootball

Beşiktaş has reportedly promised to facilitate Rafa Silva's departure. According to gathered information, the Istanbul team, represented by its president, has informed the Portuguese international in one of their meetings that the black eagles would not hinder his departure in January, while Benfica is closely monitoring the situation.

As reported by the newspaper Record, Beşiktaş is willing to let Rafa Silva leave if the player agrees to return to the club to help the team until the transfer window opens. The same source explains that this situation might occur, as the relationship between the two parties is unlikely to return to what it once was.

Serdar Adalı, president of Beşiktaş, puts this possibility on the table but, in return, asks for the total commitment of the Portuguese international with the sporting goals of the black eagles. In a particularly challenging phase in the championship, the Turks hope that Rafa Silva will be an asset in the matches against Trabzonspor (December 14) and Kayserispor (December 18), before the winter break.

It is worth recalling that Rafa Silva was left out of the match against Gaziantep, which caused some buzz in the Turkish press. However, doubts were clarified, as the coach, after the 2-2 draw, explained that the Portuguese was being rested for the clash with Trabzonspor.

Going through a very challenging phase in sports, Beşiktaş has once again dropped points in the championship, falling even further from the European spots. All things considered, the Istanbul team is in fifth place, with 25 points, 11 behind Galatasaray, the league leader.
