Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – António Silva gives Benfica board a headache | OneFootball

The Benfica management is not finding it easy to finalize the contract renewal with António Silva. The young central defender, trained at the Seixal Campus, is seen as one of the crown jewels of the team under Bruno Lage's command, and the club's management is striving to extend the player's contract as quickly as possible.

However, as revealed by our Journal in this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, the dossier has become complicated, and the Benfica management, led by Rui Costa, already knows that the process will be difficult to achieve the renewal with António Silva.

The truth is that the uncertainty in the club's market does not help in resolving the issue. Therefore, Benfica's management has already decided that they will only resume talks with António Silva's agents after the summer transfer window closes, at which point the situation of Bruno Lage's squad will be more defined.

It should be noted that António Silva, who has several suitors in the transfer market, has a valid contract with Benfica until the summer of 2027. This situation puts some pressure on the Eagles, who have one sports season to reach an agreement with the player.

If they fail to do so, the defender will enter the last year of his contract at the start of the next season, and will be free to sign with another club from January 2027, a situation that would be the worst possible scenario for Benfica, as they risk losing one of the great talents of their team, trained at the Seixal Campus, for free.
