Exclusive: António Silva could land Benfica in trouble | OneFootball

António Silva may complicate the contract renewal with Benfica and leave the club in a very difficult position. According to the newspaper Record, the Portuguese international, whose contract ends in June 2027, is considering all scenarios, including leaving on a free transfer.

As revealed in the Glorioso Exclusive on August 28, António Silva intends to study all the options on the table before proceeding with the contract renewal with Benfica. Jorge Mendes, the player's agent, has played a central role in the entire process.

Faced with the possibility of losing António Silva on a free transfer in June 2027, Benfica is already considering the possibility of negotiating the Portuguese international in the summer market of 2026. As reported in the Glorioso Exclusive on November 1, the Clube da Luz is willing to sell the player for a sum between 30/40 million euros.

Among the clubs interested in António Silva, Juventus stands out, having come close to signing the defender from Benfica in January 2025. However, after Jorge Mendes got involved at a time when the player was not an option for Bruno Lage, Tomás Araújo's injury 'resolved' the issue.

This season, wearing Benfica's jersey, António Silva – valued at 32 million euros – played 19 matches: eight in the Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 1,615 minutes he was on the field, the defender performed at a good level.
