In recent years, Real Madrid has become known for its ability to help young players grow. Young players like Vinicius Jr., Fede Valverde, Rodrygo, and Eduardo Camavinga joined the club as teens and have since become stars on the first team. Before he came, Jude Bellingham was already thought to be one of the best midfielders in the world, which makes him stand out. Since he moved to the Spanish city, his skills and fame have grown.

Antonio Silva of Benfica is another young prospect in the same situation as Bellingham did when he played for Borussia Dortmund. Silva, who is only 19, is already a regular player for the big Portuguese teams and has even earned spots on the Portugal national team. It’s no surprise that Silva is seen as one of the best young players of his age. Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester United are just a few of the teams that are interested in him.

A new story from Record (via Sport Witness) says that the Portuguese star isn’t easily swayed by the offers from Manchester United and Liverpool. He thinks Real Madrid is the best club in Europe, and they are interested in him. Getting a player like Silva would be a huge win for Real Madrid, and it would also fit nicely with the club’s rules for signing players.

However, getting such a deal might not be easy. Silva is very well liked at Benfica, and his current deal is thought to have a release clause of around €120 million. There is still no word on whether Real Madrid is ready to pay that much to get the talented Portuguese defender to the Santiago Bernabeu. In hindsight, many people also thought the price paid for Bellingham was too high. Still, it turned out to be a good deal for the young star, showing that Los Blancos is dedicated to growing and supporting amazing potential.
