Juventus are hoping to lure Benfica defender Antonio Silva to Turin, and have a strong ally in the shape of Jorge Mendes.
The super agent’s bond with the club dates back to the summer of 2018, when Joao Cancelo’s arrival was followed by the groundbreaking signing of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The two men worked together to bring Francisco Conceicao to Turin last summer, even when the Bianconeri were running out of cash.
This winter, the Serie A giants are primarily focused on adding a new centre-back to the ranks after losing the services of Gleison Bremer to an ACL injury. The Bianconeri have been linked with a host of names, including the likes of Milan Skriniar, Jakub Kiwior and Ardian Ismajli.
Nevertheless, Antonio Silva has been gaining ground over the past few weeks. The Benfica youth product is a 21-year-old rising defender who has already amassed valuable experience at club and international level considering his tender age.
