That sounds like a football manager type of deal. When was the last time we did a swap involving 3 players? We would still need to give them more or less 80 million euros on top as well.

Let's get real. If we don't want to pay the release clause, Bernardo Silva is the only player they would be realistically interested in, and vice-versa.

JACK GAUGHAN: Bernardo Silva earned SALVATION after penalty woes

JACK GAUGHAN: More iconic but then none more redemptive than Wembley. When he does eventually leave, those standing behind that goal will remember their beating heart thumping the badge.

A release clause in his latest contract changes the landscape ahead of the summer and it is still to be seen whether those numbers are attainable for interested parties – one likely to be former club Benfica, where Silva hopes to finish his career.


hmm? looks like Otamendi+Cash = Ruben Dias deal?

he's only 29 (30 in august), surely got another 2-3 years left at a high level before he goes back to retire in the Portuguese league.

He's won it all at the highest level in the game apart from the World Cup. If Bernie returned to Benfica now, he'd be a meaningful upgrade for them, as opposed to going back in three years time as a waning former star on a farewell tour before retirement.

In this respect, if we were to lose him this summer, I think Benfica would be more than willing to accept a returning Bernardo Silva at his peak, with a few Euros on top for Joao Neves. I could swallow that.

What would absolutely kill me is to see him playing for a major CL rival in another country, with the prospect of us facing him at some point.

Best case scenario? Silva has a change of heart & stays, & we buy Neves outright, or throw in Cancelo as a makeweight.
 
This thread started in November 2023 with mention of his buy out clause, which although expensive is something we could trigger. We have have shown we are building a spine for the future (Gvardiol/X/Foden/Haaland). so Neves would fit the X. The Benfica forum is increasingly resigned to the fact that he's leaving, so I just hope it's to join the Benfica alumni in M11.
