Benfica's offer to António Silva, figures revealed | OneFootball

Benfica remain committed to securing the long-term future of António Silva, and the figures included in the renewal proposal have now been revealed. The club’s SAD has set out a plan that includes a gradual salary increase over the coming years.

The offer foresees the 22-year-old player starting on a net salary of more than €1.2 million per season, according to the newspaper 'Record'. With the progression outlined in the new deal, his salary will rise in stages, exceeding €1.5 million net per year in the final year of the contract.

In addition to improved financial terms, Benfica’s officials are reportedly willing to invest an amount close to €3 million per season to ensure the centre-back stays. The club’s hierarchy also intends to give the player a greater leadership role in the dressing room, viewing him as a future captain of the first team.

The proposal was delivered to the player in May, before the final round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, and is currently under review. Even so, António Silva continues to attract interest in the transfer market, a scenario that leaves open the possibility of a departure.

Benfica could move forward with the sale, taking advantage of one of the last opportunities to secure a significant financial return from the player.
