Cheap defender Liverpool are looking for because of injuries and Joe Gomez's poor form

Antonio Silva has become one of the great sensations of the Portuguese league due to the performance he is offering with Benfica in these first months of competition and this has made several big clubs interested in him, including Liverpool, who would be looking for him due to the poor performance of Joe Gomez, who has had good games, but also several bad ones.

According to the Portuguese media 'A Bola', the Reds are after the young centre-back, who is only 18 years old, and could make a proposal to Benfica in the next summer transfer window to acquire his services. Antero Henrique would be the main advocate of Antonio Silva's arrival at Liverpool and would take the lead in negotiations to try to bring him to the Parc des Princes.

Liverpool are not the only big club interested in bringing Antonio Silva out of Benfica next summer, as we learned weeks ago that PSG and Real Madrid also have an eye on him. The Merengues could say goodbye to Nacho at the end of this season and would consider the young centre-back to fill the vacancy left by the Madrileño at the Santiago Bernabeu. So, a 'war' is coming between the Parisians and Madrid.

According to the information, a first attempt was made when negotiating Draxler's loan to the Luz club. Benfica, however, rejected the inclusion of António Silva in the deal. The promise, in fact, recently renewed contract until 2027, with a termination clause of 100 million euros. Nevertheless, it is mentioned that PSG will return to the charge, with Luís Campos, advisor for football, keeping a close eye on the development of the player, who has also been in good form in the Champions League, where he has faced the French outfit on two occasions.

<strong>Antonio Silva is of interest to Liverpool </strong>

The young centre-back has been promoted to the first team this season and his performance is surprising everyone at Benfica. At the start of the season, the player has already played 12 games, 9 in the league and 3 in the Champions League; the victories against Maccabi and Juventus and the draw against PSG. The young Portuguese player is already an U21 international with the national team and his market value has gone from 300 thousand euros in June to 4 million euros in September, a figure that will continue to grow if he continues with his progression.
