Juventus have set their sights on Antonio Silva, a promising young defender from Benfica, as they look to strengthen their squad in the upcoming January transfer window. According to Tuttosport, negotiations between the two clubs are already underway.
Silva, a 21-year-old Portuguese international with 17 caps, has caught the attention of several top European clubs due to his impressive performances. Benfica values Silva at a minimum of €40 million, reflecting his potential and current standing in European football.
Juventus see Silva as a key target to bolster their defensive line, particularly as they plan for the future. The club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, views Silva as a prime candidate to eventually replace Gleison Bremer. Bremer’s recent injuries have necessitated a search for reliable defensive options, and Silva’s youth and talent make him an attractive prospect.
