04-12-2024

Juventus is looking for new addition for the defensive line. Juventus’ primary target is Benfica’s 21 year old center back Antonia Silva. Juventus has already declared interest for the young prospect.

Benfica president Rui Costa clearly claims that, if Juve is requesting a January move, Juve should pay release clause of the contract which is €100 million according to news of Portugal sport news portal A Bola.

The Italian club’s sporting director admits that António Silva “is interesting”, but it doesn’t guarantee a move in January. Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ sporting director, confirmed the Italian club’s interest in António Silva the day before yesterday, stating that he was on an exclusive list. “He is an interesting player, but in the January transfer window no one will open up, we will have to be attentive and vigilant in relation to this situation”, explained Giuntioli, in statements released by Sky Sports Italy, during the Grand Football Gala, organized by the football federation of that country. Two clubs seem to be in negotiations for a potential move of the player.
