Marco Silva ‘to decide’ future next week as Fulham table four-year offer and Rui Costa waits on Mourinho | OneFootball

Marco Silva, 48, wants to settle his future next week, aiming to end speculation as Benfica monitor his situation and Fulham press their case.

Record reports that Fulham are pushing to keep the Portuguese coach, who is viewed as a potential successor to José Mourinho at Benfica. After hearing his demands, the London club are ready to raise investment and next season’s squad budget.

Fulham have laid the groundwork for a smooth continuation and have placed a four-year renewal on the table. By contrast, uncertainty persists at Benfica over Mourinho’s future, amid Real Madrid elections, and Rui Costa is expected to move only once that dossier is resolved.

With the English club prepared to meet Silva’s conditions, Benfica risk falling behind in the race for the former Sporting coach.

As this season draws to a close, Silva intends to bring clarity quickly, with a final call on Benfica’s interest and Fulham’s proposal anticipated soon.
