Fanatik in Turkey reported that Al Ahli, where Rui Pedro Braz is the sporting director, submitted a proposal for Rafa Silva from Besiktas. However, Al Ahli currently has no available slots for foreign players and no changes are planned in this respect. According to information gathered by A BOLA, the Saudi club has not made any move toward a possible signing of Rafa.

According to Fanatik, Al Ahli, where Rui Pedro Braz is the sporting director, made a formal offer to negotiate the signing of Portuguese forward Rafa Silva from Besiktas. Besiktas no longer includes Rafa Silva in their future plans and is willing to negotiate a transfer for a value of approximately 13 million euros. The Turkish newspaper states that this value was revised downwards after the Saudi offer, from the €15 million initially demanded by club president Serdal Adali. It is reported that Serdal Adali informed the player and his agent that only payment of this sum would allow the deal to proceed, after the player's attempt to leave on a free transfer.

Al-Ahli, a club from Saudi Arabia where Merih Demiral plays, has added Beşiktaş's 32-year-old Portuguese second striker, Rafa Silva, to its transfer list. The current sporting director of Al-Ahli, Rui Pedro Braz, who previously held the same position at Benfica, is interested in signing the player. The Beşiktaş management will evaluate the situation with Rafa Silva and decide on a course of action if a concrete offer is received. Silva's contract with the club is valid until 2027, and his market value is 7 million Euros. He joined the Turkish club in July 2024 and has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist in 10 Süper Lig appearances this season.
