António Silva

A release clause of €100 million is consistently reported as active in his contract until 2027. High-end speculation from late 2024 suggested Manchester United was prepared to offer over €75 million, and Real Madrid was reportedly quoted at least €75 million in August 2024. Conversely, several lower offers were reportedly rejected: a €50 million package (€35m + €15m) from Newcastle in July 2024, and multiple proposals from Juventus in late 2024/early 2025, including loan-plus-option deals totaling €30-€35 million. Benfica's demands were reportedly in the €40-€50 million range for Italian clubs. A report from July 2025 suggested Benfica might accept around €35 million, while a Transfermarkt valuation of €32 million was cited in September 2025.

Our valuation for António Silva is driven by consistent high-level interest from clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Juventus, contrasted with reports of his stagnating performance. The range is anchored by rejected offers at the lower end (e.g., Juventus' loan-plus-option bids around €30-€40m, Newcastle's €50m package) and high-end reported valuations and potential bids at the upper end (e.g., over €75m from Manchester United). While his €100m release clause is frequently cited, multiple reports suggest Benfica would negotiate for a lower fee, with figures around €50m often mentioned as a potential starting point.
