Rafa Silva’s agent steps in, Benfica rubbing their hands | OneFootball

Rafa's agent seeks solutions for his client. According to reports, the player’s representative will attend a new meeting with Besiktas president Serdal Adali in order to find an alternative for the future of the former Benfica star, who has been at odds with the Turkish club.

The situation between Rafa Silva and Besiktas became unsustainable after the most recent incidents involving the 32-year-old player. After a prolonged one-month absence, during which he refused to return, the athlete was reintegrated into training with the Black Eagles, but his attitude was the last straw for the coach and the management.

Linked with a move to Benfica, who are reportedly unwilling to spend a single cent to secure his return, Rafa Silva, according to the press, showed total indifference in recent training sessions, not caring about fulfilling his commitment to Besiktas. The same source explained that the former Portuguese international only took 125 steps on the pitch, unlike his teammates, who ran an average of 6 kilometers.

The whole situation became even more volatile when coach Sergen Yalçin did not hold back in his criticism of the player, stressing that he only trains to fulfill his contract. In light of this scenario, Rafa Silva has been left out of the squad lists and the club wants his agent to find a solution as quickly as possible, which could favor Benfica’s interest.

Rafa Silva — valued at 5 million euros — is on a collision course with Besiktas and has not played since November. This season, the Black Eagles’ number 27 has made 16 official appearances in both domestic and European competitions. In the 1,360 minutes he spent on the pitch, the Portuguese international recorded five goals and three assists.
