“Liverpool FC is reportedly eyeing a move for Benfica defender Antonio Silva, valued at £85 million.
The Portuguese international is seen as a potential long-term replacement for club captain Virgil van Dijk, whose contract expires next year. However, Liverpool faces stiff competition from Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain, all of whom are also interested in Silva’s services.
Benfica is holding firm on their valuation, which includes a €100 million release clause in Silva’s contract.
Meanwhile, Van Dijk’s contract situation remains uncertain, with no extension offer on the table yet
