Marco Silva gets Bah back, Benfica find major solution | OneFootball

Alexander Bah was close to spending his final days as a Benfica player. The Eagles’ hierarchy intended to negotiate the Danish international’s departure before the close of the summer transfer window. However, those plans changed due to the latest developments.

Benefiting from the fact thatAmar Dedic, Bah has taken advantage of his opportunities to establish himself as a starter under Marco Silva’s management.

The 28-year-old Danish international right-back has already logged more competitive minutes than last season, when he returned later because of a serious knee injury that kept him out for more than a year.

Marco Silva believes that losing two players in the same position would be an unnecessary risk, especially in a season in which he wants to have enough options to compete on all fronts. Bah will therefore remain part of Marco Silva’s sporting project.

The 49-year-old coach values the Nordic player’s experience and his ability to operate in an area where squad depth will be particularly important. As such, the exit door is not open for the Danish full-back.
