Juventus’ trouble, Benfica wants 100 million for Antonio Silva
Technician Bruno Lage è was clear about the future of his defender
Before the challenge with Sporting Lisbon, Bruno Lage, Benfica coach, wanted to shed light on the future of Antonio Silva, indicated by many as a future Juventus player. The Portuguese class of 2003 would, in fact, be Giuntoli's number one target for the January market.
"There's a contract, there's a clause and you have to respect it. Those who want Benfica players must show up in Lisbon with their wallets bulging with money. The only thing here that is not è for sale è our technical center: for the rest, when the big teams come, the players can go. But you have to pay the clauses", the words of Benfica coach Bruno Lage.
Statements that seriously put Giuntoli in trouble. Antonio Silva’s rescission clause, as reported by several Portuguese media, è of about 100 million euros. A figure out of reach for Juventus. Giuntoli will try to find a solution through the mediation of Mendes, Antonio Silva’s agent.
In the meantime, there are also plans to recover the necessary money to invest in the winter market. By disposing of Arthur and Danilo, the Bianconeri society would save five million euros net in wages (2.5 each). A small nest egg that will come in handy but won't do any good in the assault on Antonio Silva.
