Silva is thought to be the next big thing to come out of Benfica’s youth academy. He is supposedly worth around €100 million, which is about the same as Darwin Nunez and Enzo Fernandez. Real Madrid may look to add to their defense in the summer, especially since Nacho’s deal is up and Ferland Mendy may be leaving. David Alaba could move to left back if that happens.

Manchester United and Liverpool are said to want to sign Silva, which could make the market more competitive and possibly raise his price. Real Madrid is also said to be keeping an eye on Josko Gvardiol, a defender for RB Leipzig who is being watched by many big European teams, such as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Madrid has to compete with other teams to get Gvardiol. This makes the summer transfer market a fun and exciting time for defense players.
