Newcastle United have offloaded a few players to adhere to Profit and Sustainability regulations, but there have been minimal new arrivals at St James’ Park so far.
However, this situation might soon change.
Despite this, Newcastle remains the wealthiest club globally and harbors serious ambitions for progress under Eddie Howe.
Securing a new center-back is a top priority for Newcastle this summer, especially with concerns over Sven Botman’s fitness and Fabian Schar’s advancing age.
Antonio Silva is reportedly a target for the Magpies, and now there are talks of Newcastle preparing an improved offer for the defender.
According to A Bola, Newcastle United are set to escalate their bid for Antonio Silva.
Initially, Newcastle’s offer of €50m (£40m) was turned down. Nevertheless, the club is not giving up, and they are prepared to increase their offer to secure the services of what is described as ‘one of the best defenders in the world.’
While Silva did not perform at his peak during Euro 2024, he remains a player with immense potential. At just 22 years old, the Portugal international has been a standout performer for Benfica in recent seasons.
It is believed that Newcastle’s enhanced bid could tempt Benfica into selling Silva. Should Newcastle pair Silva with Botman in defense next season, they could establish a formidable defensive backbone.
Newcastle fans could be in for an exciting summer, with Silva potentially proving to be a significant signing for the club.
