Milan explores signing Benfica defender Antonio Silva amid renewal talks

Summary

AC Milan's interest in Benfica defender Antonio Silva remains tentative as talks progress. A recent meeting between Jorge Mendes and Benfica did not yield a deal for Milan, who are considering Silva, under contract until June 2027. Benfica is pushing for a renewal, offering Silva a salary increase while refusing to accept a potential €20 million sale price. Silva is contemplating his future but may prefer a resolution soon. The pressure is on Benfica to either secure a new contract or risk losing him at the end of his current term.
