Bournemouth Complete António Silva Signing in €30m Deal
Bournemouth have completed all the formal steps to sign Portuguese defender António Silva from Benfica, with the transfer now officially sealed.
The Premier League club reached a full agreement with Benfica for the highly rated centre-back in a deal worth €25 million upfront, with an additional €5 million in performance-related add-ons.
Benfica authorized Silva to travel and undergo his medical examinations today, marking the final stage of the transfer before the official announcement.
The 22-year-old arrives at the Vitality Stadium as one of Portugal’s most promising defensive talents. After establishing himself as a regular in Benfica’s first team, Silva earned a reputation for his composure on the ball, strong aerial presence, and intelligent defensive positioning.
The Cherries believe the Portuguese international has the quality and potential to become a key figure in their defence for years to come.
Silva’s move also reflects Bournemouth’s continued ambition to recruit young, high-potential players capable of making an immediate impact while offering long-term value.
With the medical and travel arrangements approved by Benfica, the defender is expected to complete the remaining formalities before being unveiled as Bournemouth’s newest signing.
The transfer is now considered a done deal, with António Silva set to begin the next chapter of his career in English football.
