Benfica, watch out! Romano updates on António Silva to Milan | OneFootball

In recent days, there have been reports of an alleged verbal agreement between António Silva and Milan, managed by Ruben Amorim. The centre-back is said to have a contract valid until 2031, with an agreement between Benfica and the "rossoneri" still missing. However, Fabrizio Romano disputes this version.

According to the transfer market specialist, Milan never considered signing the young centre-back. Nothing was agreed or discussed in personal terms. Along the same lines, Fabrizio clarifies that Benfica have been in talks over a contract renewal for weeks.

It is worth remembering that António Silva has already confirmed his indecision regarding renewing with Benfica. "Whether I will renew with Benfica? I don’t know, I still don’t know. There is a proposal from the club that was presented to me in the final week of the season, before the match against Estoril", he said in an interview with the JOliveira10 channel.

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

In the 2025/26 season, playing for Benfica, António Silva – valued at 25 million euros – made 41 official appearances: 25 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,118 minutes he was on the pitch, the defender scored one goal and provided one assist.
