The international break was beneficial for the player, who began another recovery process, the last after a long ordeal. Now, Manu Silva is ready to become José Mourinho’s first ‘winter signing’ at Benfica.

Manu Silva arrived at Benfica in the winter transfer window of 2024, coming from Vitória de Guimarães for 12 million euros, with the Minho club retaining 20% of a future capital gain. His adventure with the Eagles even started well, but a left knee injury halted his progress.

In the 136 minutes he was on the pitch, against Casa Pia, Estrela da Amadora, and Moreirense, the midfielder managed to provide an assist.
