"As a result of the MRI exams conducted yesterday on our player Rafa Silva, no pathology was found that could explain his back pain", reads the statement shared by the Istanbul club.

At a time when Benfica knows the conditions for the athlete's departure, Besiktas informed what the next step will be: "The player, who reported persistent pain and did not participate in today's session, will receive a treatment program from our medical team with a diagnosis of mechanical low back pain".

"The program was communicated to the player and his representative in writing. The process, which is being meticulously monitored by our club, will proceed based on the mutual fulfillment of contractual obligations by both parties", the Istanbul club added in conclusion.
