Marco Silva is reportedly close to agreeing a deal to take over at Benfica, with talks said to have advanced significantly in recent days.
The move comes as Silva’s current contract with Fulham approaches its expiration this month, with no formal confirmation yet on whether he will remain at Craven Cottage.
Contract stand-off at Fulham
Fulham have already tabled a renewal offer for Silva, but the Portuguese coach has not accepted it. The situation has left the Premier League side in a holding pattern as they await a final decision on his future.

Benfica have emerged as strong contenders for Silva’s signature, with discussions reportedly accelerating behind the scenes. The Portuguese giants are actively pushing to finalise an agreement as they prepare for a new managerial cycle.
Decision expected soon
With his Fulham deal nearing its end and negotiations progressing with Benfica, Silva’s next move is expected to be resolved quickly, potentially bringing closure to one of the key managerial uncertainties of the summer window.
