Benfica welcome offers for centre-back amid impressive Club World Cup displays following failed Juventus transfer

<p>According to a report by <a href="https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/benfica/detalhe/benfica-coloca-antonio-silva-na-montra?ref=HP_1BucketDestaquesPrincipais" target="_blank"><em>Record</em></a>, Antonio Silva, who performed extremely well in Benfica’s Club World Cup campaign, has been put up for sale, with the club trying to utilise his current performance in the USA in return for a lucrative sum.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Benfica’s Club World Cup journey ended when they suffered a 4-1 defeat to Premier League side Chelsea. However, the club will remain active in the transfer market before they commence their preparations for the upcoming season. Silva, who has been an influential figure at Benfica, had almost signed for Juventus earlier this year, only to see his parent club block the deal due to limitations inside the squad. However, with Benfica renewing Nicolas Otamendi’s contract, the Argentine will be expected to start alongside Tomas Araujo at the heart of defence next season, potentially forcing Silva out of the pecking order. Thus, now, with Silva garnering attention after his heroics in the Club World Cup, the Portuguese stalwarts are ready to offload the defender, who has two years left in his contract.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>If Silva makes a move, it will be his second-ever professional club, as he spent his youth at Benfica itself, gradually rising through the ranks to make it to the first team. 
</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Silva will have to wait for offers, as currently Chelsea have emerged as the only party who have shortlisted him.
