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

The Benfica board is having difficulties finalizing the contract renewal with António Silva. The young center-back, trained at the Seixal Campus, is seen as one of the crown jewels of the team under Bruno Lage's command, and the red structure is fighting to extend the player's contract as soon as possible.

However, according to our Newspaper, in this Glorious 1904 Exclusive, the dossier has become complicated, and the Benfica board members, led by Rui Costa, already know that the process will be difficult to achieve the renewal with António Silva.

The truth is that the uncertainty of the red market does not help in solving the problem. Therefore, the Benfica board has already decided that it will only resume talks with António Silva's agents after the summer transfer window closes, when the situation of the squad under Bruno Lage's command will be more defined.

Remember that António Silva, who has several suitors in the transfer market, has a contract valid 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 center-back will enter the last year of his contract at the beginning of the next season, and will be free to sign for another club from January of that 2027, a situation that would be the worst possible scenario for Benfica, who would risk losing one of the great talents of their team, trained at the Seixal Campus, at no cost.
