António Silva

A €100 million release clause has been consistently reported. More recent valuations reflect a declining price due to his contract situation; reports in March 2026 estimated his value at €15-25 million, while reports in April 2026 suggested he could leave for less than past offers exceeding €30 million. In July 2025, it was reported Benfica would accept around €35m. Earlier, in April 2025, Real Madrid reportedly proposed €30m (€26m + €4m). In January 2025, a move to Juventus was linked to fees of €40m or €50m. Higher figures were mentioned in 2024, including a rejected Newcastle offer of €35m plus €15m in bonuses in July, and reports of Manchester United being prepared to offer over €75m in December.

Our valuation for António Silva is primarily driven by his contract situation, which expires in 2027 with renewal talks reportedly stalled. This significantly lowers Benfica's negotiating power from the previously cited €100m release clause. While past offers, such as Newcastle's rejected €50m package in July 2024, set a historical benchmark, more recent reports from early 2026 suggest a much lower price point, with some estimates as low as €15-25 million. Our estimate balances the player's high potential against the club's need to sell, aligning with reports from mid-2025 that Benfica would accept a fee around €35 million.
