Jorge Mendes offers Florentino the signing of the year: he gives preference to Real Madrid

The agent is aware that Real Madrid needs to sign a center back for next season . The future of Nacho and Alaba is uncertain at the moment. The first ends his contract, while the second is not clear about what to do next season.

For this reason, Mendes has contacted Florentino Pérez to offer Antonio Silva , one of his players. Real Madrid have followed him closely in recent months and believe that he can become an important footballer. However, Benfica is asking a lot of money for the transfer and its clause is 120 million euros .

“You have preference, the player has asked me,” the agent told the president of Real Madrid. And it is true, because the player has leaked to different media that his goal is to become a footballer for the best club in the world.

He is in no hurry to leave Benfica , and that is something that works in favor of Real Madrid, which could consider this operation in the future, at a much more affordable price. His contract ends on June 30, 2027 and he is 19 years old, so the player could join the Merengue club in 2026 at a much lower price or sign for another club adding a special clause to be able to go to Real Madrid .

Does not fit
The club has thanked Jorge Mendes for the offer and promised him that they would study the case carefully , although in conversations they have had between them they do not seem very sure. It is too high a price and they also have to sign a couple of full-backs and an attacker, so the budget does not reach it.

But that does not mean that they are not going to look for a center back in the market . Nacho’s departure would cause an obvious need, which we have already been able to verify this season with the injury of Militao and Alaba and the three-game ban on the Spaniard.
