Manchester United are linked with Portuguese international and Benfica star, Antonio Silva, and today there is another update on the story.
Yesterday, we covered a report via O Jogo claiming that the Red Devils believe they can agree an affordable deal to sign the player, who has a clause worth 100 million euros.
As per today’s edition of Correio da Manha, the headline states ‘Man. United won’t let go of António Silva’.
The 20-year-old center back played his first minutes of the pre-season yesterday against Brentford and featured as a substitute.
The media outlet state the Old Trafford outfit are following the Seleccao player even after luring Leny Yoro from Lille this summer.
CM Jornal claim that Dutch manager, Erik ten Hag, wants another player to improve the backline in the current window for Man Utd and Antonio Silva remains ‘one of the priorities’.
The news source further state:
“Despite having a release clause of 100 million euros, Benfica agrees to negotiate (his sale) for a substantially lower amount.“
The youngster rose to fame from the Benfica Youth teams and has already made 94 senior appearances for the Eagles
Silva has already made 13 appearances for Portugal, but he only started one game at the European Championships under Roberto Martinez.
In that contest, unfortunately, he gifted the opening goal to Georgia, who went on to beat the Seleccao 2-0.
In your view, should Man Utd sign Silva from Benfica to further reinforce the central defense?
