Bernardo Ribeiro reveals new details on Benfica's rivals for Marco Silva | OneFootball

Bernardo Ribeiro analyzed the reports in Italy about Milan’s interest in Marco Silva and what that could mean for Benfica, who want the Fulham manager to replace José Mourinho. The journalist confirmed that the Portuguese coach is being monitored by the "Rossoneri".

"I think there is interest. I don’t know the extent of that interest, but I can say that Marco Silva is in fact considering other options for his future, not just Benfica", he began by saying in remarks on the program "Record na Hora" on the Now channel.

The director of the newspaper Record said that there are other clubs interested in signing him and that Fulham want to resolve the matter within the next few days. "Milan are not the only club to have made inquiries about Marco Silva. He will decide his future at Fulham by Wednesday/Thursday. He will most likely close a beautiful chapter, but he still hasn’t said no to Fulham", he said.

Bernardo Ribeiro also revealed that the Premier League side are trying to extend the coach’s contract through a salary increase and that they have promised to bring in major reinforcements. "The truth is that Fulham are trying to convince Marco Silva not only with more money for him, but also to build a stronger team.", he said.

However, fortunately for Benfica, Milan have a name ahead of Marco Silva. Before the Portuguese manager, the Milan club could try to sign Antonio Conte, the highly regarded coach who announced his departure from Napoli.
