Welsh international Harry Wilson is on a shortlist for Marco Silva, who is expected to become the new manager at Benfica as the club plans for the upcoming season. Interest in the 29-year-old is heightened by his contract status; his deal with Fulham is set to expire at the end of June, which will allow him to leave as a free agent. Silva is keen to bring the player to Portugal. Wilson joined Fulham in July 2021. Instead of a transfer fee, Benfica could offer a signing-on bonus. The player's current salary of approximately €3.5m (£3m) net per season is not considered a potential obstacle. He has 69 caps and 17 goals for Wales. In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, he made 36 appearances, scored 10 goals, and provided 7 assists. His current market value is estimated to be €25.00m by Transfermarkt. Benfica may face competition, as Everton remain interested after having previously attempted to sign Wilson in January. Aston Villa are also reported to have an interest in the winger.
