Now, Defensa Central have reported that Silva is being offered to Real Madrid. Madrid are also keen to improve their defensive line due to injury issues. They are very likely to make a big money move in next year for defender.
Silva has a €100 million release clause in his current contract. Benfica will want any interested club to pay it fully. The Portugese side are known for doing great business in the tranfer market. They are aware that the player has too many clubs interested in him.
As of now, Juve still seem to have lead in the race. They are very likely to make signing in January to replace Bremer and Cabal who will miss the whole season. Lastly, Real Madrid have Saliba as their top target whereas Chelsea have Tomas Araujo as their top target.
