The outstanding young defender reportedly had meetings with Liverpool and Manchester United during the just-concluded international break, according to a report from 90 Min.
Silva has been an important member of Benfica and has gained entry into the Portugal national team as well.
The young, gifted defender is highly regarded around Europe and has the potential to become a player of the highest caliber in the upcoming season.
It is hardly shocking that teams like Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in acquiring him.
Joel Matip is a player that Liverpool needs to upgrade, and Silva would be a good long-term investment.
With the correct training and direction, the 19-year-old might become a top-notch defender. It might take a manager like Jurgen Klopp to develop him into a top-tier defense.
Manchester United must also strengthen the defense by giving it greater depth and superior players. Harry Maguire needs to leave Old Trafford in order to advance in his career because players like him have dropped down the pecking order there. Silva might make a good stand-in.
The talented young defender will find it appealing to join one of the two Premier League clubs, but Benfica is unlikely to release him on the cheap. The two English teams have still to decide whether they are willing to pay a premium for him.
