Bournemouth is set to complete a sizeable £17 million transfer for Benfica’s young top defender António Silva after the club agreed to his buyout clause costing [X] million. The Portuguese defender rejected Benfica’s contract extension offer, which sealed the sale.
Accounts now confirm Liverpool has been tracking Silva despite Bournemouth’s forward progress toward wrapping up terms. Multiple sources now state both teams are near closing the agreement.
[AC Milan] still holds a keen interest on the defender, although Bournemouth remains ahead for now. If the deal lands, Silva would strengthen a Bournemouth backline under fresh tactical planning.
