I would love to play at Old Trafford – Man Utd ‘Well Prepared’ to Sign £80m Benfica star after surprise transfer message

Manchester United has included Benfica star Antonio Silva on their list of potential recruits, and he is not the sole young defender being pursued by Premier League clubs.

Man United and Chelsea have shown interest in Everton prospect Jarrad Branthwaite, particularly Chelsea who are seeking a replacement for Thiago Silva.

A highly coveted central defender will be an essential and popular acquisition during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Antonio Silva
Jan Vertonghen, a former Tottenham Hotspur defender, has already stated to the Portuguese press that he believes this player has the potential to become one of the top center defenders in the world in the future years. If you are looking to recruit a new player for the defensive position, this individual is the ideal choice.

The primary obstacle for any team will be the substantial release clause of €100m (£85m) that he is bound by at Benfica.

However, it is likely that he will relocate this summer, and his attributes make him highly suitable for the Premier League.

His ascent has been remarkable, considering that he was only elevated to Benfica’s senior squad last season. However, he possesses exceptional strength, courage, and a really astute understanding of the game, surpassing what is typically expected of someone his age.

Liverpool and Manchester United have shown the most interest in his talent in England over the past year, but Chelsea has also started to closely observe him, particularly in recent times.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich hold him in high esteem, while Borussia Dortmund and Napoli have also attempted to establish connections as he strategizes his career in the sport.

Currently, Manchester United is the most well-equipped to sign him based on their thorough scouting reports and the availability of a spot in their squad.

However, the current price-point will provide a challenge, especially considering their intention to make four other signings.
