Jose Mourinho, who became the manager of Benfica after his time at Fenerbahçe, has made Rafa Silva his primary target for the January transfer window. Mourinho knows the 32-year-old from Turkey and reportedly considers him a target to increase the team's attacking creativity. Reports from the Portuguese press state that Benfica is prepared to make a 1.5-year contract offer if Silva's departure from Beşiktaş becomes official. The player is close to leaving due to disciplinary and performance-focused discussions and issues with the management, and the situation is said to be near a critical stage. Despite the situation, Beşiktaş is not hurrying to evaluate incoming offers for the player, whose market value is around 7 million Euro and who has a contract until 2027. The Portuguese international, who joined Beşiktaş in July 2024, has scored one goal in five Süper Lig appearances this season and has also been linked with Al Ahli. The Beşiktaş president, Serdal Adalı, and coach, Sergen Yalçın, are expected to make important statements about Rafa Silva's situation in a press conference scheduled for today.
