Antonio Silva of Benfica is regarded as a long-term investment who could be a key part of Liverpool's defense for the next ten years. His performances in the Portuguese league and Champions League have attracted interest from several top clubs, including Manchester United and Real Madrid, which means Liverpool will face significant competition to sign him.

Liverpool are also keen on the talented 20-year-old Antonio Silva. Liverpool might be more tempting for Silva, with the Reds rising as a real force under Jurgen Klopp and continuing strongly under Arne Slot this season. There would be a clear role for Silva at Anfield, where Virgil van Dijk is nearing the end of his contract, suggesting a need for a long-term successor.

Liverpool are interested in Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva.

According to Caught Offside, several English championship teams are already moving to have him next season. Interest from the Premier League would come from Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. The three clubs have already taken information with Benfica for the player and negotiations could soon open.
