Besiktas could help pave the way for Rafa Silva’s return to Benfica | OneFootball

Rafa Silva's return to Benfica may see developments soon. According to information from Turkey, Besiktas is interested in securing the signing of Ramón Sosa, which could facilitate the return of the former Portuguese international to the Estádio da Luz.

“Besiktas is monitoring Ramón Sosa, a winger from Palmeiras. There are clubs from Argentina, the Premier League, and Serie A that are also interested,” reports Ekrem Konur, a well-known Turkish journalist, in news that could ease Rafa Silva's return to Benfica.

“Palmeiras is reluctant to sell, but an offer between 15 and 20 million euros could change the Brazilian club's position,” concludes Ekrem Konur, detailing Ramón Sosa's situation in Abel Ferreira's team, which recently saw the Brasileirão title slip away to Flamengo.

In the preview of the match between Benfica and Atlético CP in the Portuguese Cup, José Mourinho was asked about the possibility of Rafa Silva: “I can't talk about players from other clubs. I can, but I don't want to. And Rafa Silva is a Besiktas player. I won't make any comment.”

Rafa Silva – valued at 7 million euros – represented Benfica for eight seasons (2016/17 to 2023/24), costing the Eagles 16 million euros. In total, the former Portuguese international recorded impressive numbers with the Sacred Mantle: 326 games, 94 goals, 67 assists, and eight titles, including three National Championships.
