Benfica bid for Premier League striker, Marco Silva wants 29-year-old | OneFootball

Benfica have reportedly already presented a contract offer to Harry Wilson, the 29-year-old forward whose contract with Fulham expires at the end of June, which would allow for a potential move to Luz on a free transfer, joining the coach in this new venture.

According to Luís Coelho, the player has not yet responded to the Eagles’ offer, with a decision expected next week. The interest comes in a context where Marco Silva wants to bring with him some players he worked with in England, should his arrival as Benfica head coach be confirmed.

Harry Wilson stood out last season for Fulham, finishing as the team’s top scorer in the Premier League, with 10 goals in 36 matches, while also adding seven assists. His potential arrival in Lisbon on a free transfer is seen as a significant market opportunity to strengthen the squad’s attacking department.

In addition to Harry Wilson, the name of Jorge Cuenca has also regained momentum in recent days. The centre-back, who also previously worked with Marco Silva, has emerged as an option to strengthen the heart of the defence, thanks to his versatility, being able to play in different positions across the back line.

Benfica are therefore continuing to prepare for the new season in coordination with the future coaching staff, while defining priorities for strengthening the squad, both in attack and defence, in a market that promises targeted adjustments and swift decisions.
