Goodbye looming! Amorim's Milan agree deal for Benfica star | OneFootball

António Silva’s future could lie in Italy. The centre-back has already reached an agreement with Milan to join the historic Italian club during the summer transfer window, which could frustrate the plans of Benfica, managed by Marco Silva, who is counting on the young player.

Benfica are still looking to extend António Silva’s contract.

The 22-year-old defender is under contract with the Eagles until June 2027 and is protected by a release clause set at €100 million. Benfica’s SAD remain in talks with a view to a renewal, but the parties have not yet reached a final agreement.

The Italian club’s move comes at a time when the future of António Silva continues to be one of the most closely watched files in the transfer market. Developed at Seixal, the centre-back has established himself as one of the leading products of Benfica’s academy and remains among the most valuable players in the squad. If the deal goes through, Benfica could lose one of the pillars of their defence in a transfer window that has already forced the club to look for a successor to Nicolás Otamendi.

In addition to the Benfica defender, Ruben Amorim is also said to have identified other Portuguese players to strengthen the rossoneri. They include Gonçalo Inácio and Francisco Trincão, both from Sporting, as well as Gonçalo Ramos, a striker developed at Benfica, who has already been confirmed for the Italian team.
