100 million talent once again a topic at FC Bayern? | OneFootball

With the end of a below-average season, the summer transfer window is just around the corner. With the German record champions‚ centre-backs performing inconsistently this year, the Bayern bosses could also be looking to add to their ranks in the summer. Apparently, an expensive defensive talent is now being traded at FC Bayern.

As reported by the portal Fichajes, FC Bayern are one of three top European clubs who are intensively endeavouring to acquire the services of Benfica youngster António Silva. In the race for the young Portuguese, they are competing with Manchester United and Liverpool FC, who also have the 20-year-old on their radar. Rumours were already doing the rounds three months ago that the German record champions were interested in the young centre-back.

Säbener Straße is said to have decided to add to the centre-back position in the summer. The reason for this is that neither Dayot Upamecano nor Minjae Kim have been able to consistently fulfil Munich’s expectations. For this reason, neither defender is considered unsellable in the summer. This could make room for a new star in the Bayern defence.

United with great interest in Silva

In Lisbon, meanwhile, they are said to be getting more and more comfortable with the idea of selling the 20-year-old next summer. However, they are planning to generate a transfer fee that is quite something. According to fichajes.net, Silva’s services are valued at an impressive 100 million euros. However, Benfica could also settle for a slightly lower but „reasonable“ transfer fee.

If you take a look at the German record champions‘ rivals, the transfer fee for the 20-year-old is still likely to be generous. Two financially strong Premier League clubs, Liverpool and the Red Devils, are both bidding for the defensive gem. Manchester United in particular, who are said to be looking for a successor to Raphael Varane, are showing great interest in Silva. The centre-back is contractually tied to Benfica until the summer of 2027.
