Breaking news! Rafa Silva could return to Benfica as early as January | OneFootball

This is breaking news! Rafa Silva may be on his way back. The rumor surfaced today, November 13, with several sources claiming that the Portuguese international could be returning to Benfica. This would be an alternative to his decision to end his career.

The news was reported live by Pedro Sousa on the NOW channel, where he stated that there is a strong possibility that the former Portuguese international will return to the Luz club, just one season after moving to Besiktas on a free transfer.

During his report, the journalist acknowledged that despite some friction between the player and Rui Costa over contract renewal issues during the 2023/24 season, he added that the President, re-elected on November 9, would welcome the player's return.

Currently earning a salary well above Benfica's means, Rafa Silva, according to Pedro Sousa, if he receives an offer that meets his expectations, is open to returning to Benfica; however, it is still unknown whether the two parties have had any contact, but the Besiktas player has been in Portugal in recent days.

This possibility arises at a time when Rafa Silva – valued at 7 million euros – has come into conflict with the Istanbul club, as he is dissatisfied with Besiktas' current situation. Furthermore, reports indicate that the player is considering ending his career.
