António Silva reveals Benfica players' holiday escapades | OneFootball

While he waits to return to work at Benfica, scheduled for next June 23, António Silva is still enjoying the final days of his holiday. The Benfica centre-back shared some relaxing moments on social media, showing how he has been making the most of the break before pre-season begins.

In one of the images released, the Portugal international is seen playing paintball alongside several teammates connected to the Benfica world. Samuel Soares, Henrique Araújo, Diogo Prioste, João Rego, Gonçalo Oliveira, Diogo Ferreira, Manu Silva and Tomás Araújo were some of the players present at the gathering.

Despite the rest period, António Silva is still viewed as one of Benfica’s main bets for the future. The centre-back is already preparing for his return to action and aims to report back in the best possible condition to begin work under Marco Silva.

In addition to sporting matters, the future of the Benfica number shirt holder’s contract continues to draw attention from the structure led by Rui Costa. As recently revealed, Benfica have already presented the defender with a renewal proposal, with his current deal running until 2027.

The final decision is expected to be known after the holiday period, at a time when the club wants to secure the continuity of one of the most valuable assets produced by Benfica’s academy. Meanwhile, Marco Silva continues planning for the new season. The coach is working on preparations for 2026/27, with one of his immediate priorities being to define the schedule of warm-up matches ahead of the official start of the campaign.
