Benfica wants to renew his contract with A; the contract expires in 27 years, and it was almost sold to Juventus in the winter window.

Hupu September 6th According to the front page of the record of one of the three major newspapers in Portugal, the renewal of Portugal's central defender Antonio Silva has been included in Rui Costa's plan.

The two sides have not yet had any contact, but the Benfica board of directors intends to renew the central defender, whose existing contract will expire in 2027.

The Portuguese international played a key role in the start of the season - he has partnered with Otamendi in six of the eight games so far this season - so Benfica hopes to renew his contract.

The 21-year-old defender last renewed his contract in 2022. His salary does not match his importance, so he will also receive an economic reward from Benfica Holdings.

In January 25, when the player lost his place in Bruno Lager's roster, Benfica considered selling it, and Juventus was interested in him, but Rui Costa left him.

Later, due to Bach's serious injury, Thomas Araujo was forced to serve as right back, and Antonio Silva returned to the starting lineup. At present, he is still a key player of the team and there is little chance of leaving the team.

In any case, the fact that he is so popular also prompted Benfica officials to decide to keep the defender, and to do so, they need to increase his contract term.
