Attention, Rui Costa! In-demand Benfica target decides future soon | OneFootball

Just days before declaring the current season over, Marco Silva is said to have already made it known that he intends to sort out his professional future next week. As far as is known, the 48-year-old coach wants to put an end to the rumors surrounding him and, in the following days, should make a final decision on Benfica’s interest and Fulham’s offer.

According to Record newspaper, Fulham, as had already been reported earlier, want to do everything they can to secure the Portuguese coach’s continuation, as he is seen as the successor to José Mourinho when he leaves Benfica. However, there is one detail that favors the London club.

Unlike the situation at the Lisbon club, where there is huge uncertainty regarding Mourinho’s future, given the elections that are going to take place at Real Madrid, Fulham have everything in place to ensure a smooth continuation for Marco Silva and have put a four-year contract extension offer on the table.

The Premier League club want to do everything possible to keep Marco Silva and have already raised the stakes after learning of his demands. According to Record, Fulham are willing to significantly increase the squad’s investment and budget next season, meeting the needs of the former Sporting manager.

In light of these new details, Benfica run a serious risk of falling behind in the race for Marco Silva, since Fulham are willing to meet the Portuguese coach’s demands. On the other hand, the same source says that Rui Costa is only expected to move forward with a formal offer for the manager after resolving José Mourinho’s situation.
