Benfica’s Portuguese centre-back Antonio Silva is back in Manchester United’s options as part of their summer transfer plans.
Manchester United have signed young centre-back Leni Yoro from Lille for an expecte fee of around £60m including add-ons, but Erik ten Hag’s side are still keen on adding another centre-back.
Football Transfers reports https://ufabet999.app that Benfica centre-back Silva is back on the radar of Manchester United. After failing to agree a deal for Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and Everton’s Jarrad Brunthwaite, leading to the need to look for alternatives.
However, Silva’s transfer possibility is unlikely to be high. Because his transfer fee is not inferior to De Ligt or Brunthwaite. The 20-year-old center back has a release clause of 100 million euros with Benfica. But in reality, the transfer fee will be lower than that.
Manchester United had a €40m bid for De Ligt rejected by Bayern Munich, who want €50m. While Everton had a second bid of €53m plus €7m in add-ons rejected for Brunthwaite.For Silva. Who is only 20 years old. He has been a regular for Benfica for the past two seasons, making 94 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals. While also making 13 senior appearances for Portugal since 2022.
