The player in question is Antonio Silva of Benfica.
Silva is a product of Benfica’s academy and has been handed a first-team role in the 2022/23 campaign.
The 6ft 1 centre-back has made 12 senior appearances, including four in the Champions League where he has helped his side earn two 1-1 draws with PSG.
Given he is a young Portuguese centre-back at Benfica, people are already stating that Silva looks like he could be the next Ruben Dias – a top centre-back who started out as a youngster at Benfica before becoming a star player at current club. Manchester City.
Benfica often produce top young talent, with Joao Felix another recent example, and it looks like Silva will certainly be one worth keeping a close eye on in the next few years.
And now, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has suggested that the teenager will be worth €80-90m in the future, whilst also speaking on his links to Manchester United and Liverpool:
“I’ve seen some reports of Liverpool and Manchester United looking at him. For sure, top clubs are following him but it’s important to say that there’s still nothing serious or concrete, as of now.
“He is still developing as a player, but let’s see where he is in a few years, the future looks bright for him.”
