Rafa Silva leaving Benfica? Pedro Sousa shares fresh updates | OneFootball

Pedro Sousa says that Rafa Silva will be a Benfica player. During his intervention, the well-known journalist stated that the Club of Light might already count on the former Portuguese international in the early days of January 2026, adding that the deal could be finalized by December 31.

“Sooner than expected, I believe that, based on what has been said today, the situation can be resolved by the end of the calendar year. This means that, most likely, he will be available for Benfica on January 2,” Pedro Sousa began to say on the program Record na Hora.

“Knowing Rafa as we do, the position will not change, and this has already been communicated to the club's president. Benfica will only officially receive the player at zero cost, officially,” added Pedro Sousa, indicating that the Eagles do not intend to pay Besiktas.

“Now it's a matter of knowing if, in a two-and-a-half or three-and-a-half-year contract, they will spread out his salary or signing bonus to pay, for example, the three million euros to Besiktas,” Pedro Sousa finally pointed out, revealing what could be the model of the deal between Benfica and Rafa Silva.
