Benfica hold firm on €20m for Marco Silva player, deal close to off | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni’s future at Benfica remains uncertain. Despite strong interest from Trabzonspor, negotiations between the two clubs are going through a delicate moment, and the deal is at real risk of collapsing.

According to Turkish newspaper Sabah, the deadlock in talks has led the Trabzon club to start looking for alternatives on the market. The SAD led by Rui Costa has made it clear that it is only willing to negotiate the Argentine international’s transfer for a fee of around €20 million.

Not even the good institutional relationship between the two clubs, recently strengthened by the transfer of Sidny Lopes Cabral, has changed Benfica’s position. Trabzonspor’s officials made an initial offer that fell well short of Benfica’s demands. They later raised the bid to €18 million, but the amount is still insufficient.

Given the lack of progress in negotiations, Trabzonspor has already begun assessing other options to strengthen the attack. According to the same publication, Dario Osorio is one of the names that has gained momentum in recent hours. The 22-year-old Chile international has been playing for Midtjylland since 2023.

Despite this movement in the market, the Prestianni file is not yet definitively closed. However, the gap between the figures Benfica want and what Trabzonspor are willing to pay continues to make any potential agreement between the two sides difficult.
