Milan, now led by Rúben Amorim, continues to reinforce its Portuguese-speaking matrix in the market and has António Silva, Benfica's central defender, among its priorities for the coming seasons. After the recent association with a Portuguese striker like Gonçalo Ramos, the target now moves to the defense axis.
According to information coming from Portugal, the young Portuguese international, aged 21, will be in the Rossoneri's sights, with reports indicating a verbal understanding with the player until 2031. The proposal would include a salary significantly higher than the current one, even doubling the central defender's salaries.
Despite progress in conversations with the athlete, there is still no agreement with Benfica. The same sources emphasize that this is not a closed negotiation, but rather advanced contacts and Milan's strong interest in securing António Silva's contract.
A product of the Reds and a key player in the Eagles' defense, António Silva is considered one of the most promising talents in Portuguese football, being referenced by several top European teams. The proximity between the Italian club and the agency that represents it, led by Jorge Mendes, could favor conversations.
The arrival of Rúben Amorim as Milan's technical command will have strengthened ties with the Portuguese market, a scenario that helps explain the Rossoneri's offensive through profiles such as António Silva, without neglecting other Portuguese targets already mentioned, such as Gonçalo Ramos. For now, however, the Benfica central defender's file remains dependent on a formal proposal to the Reds.
