Liverpool is prepared to challenge Real Madrid for transfer targets since they have a clear summertime goal of bolstering their defence.

Transfer portal Fichajes sources claim that Liverpool manager Arne Slot is planning to sign Antonio Silva in the summer. Real Madrid and Liverpool are presently vying for the young Portuguese defender as both teams try to bolster their defences in time for the new campaign.

Even at the age of 20, Antonio Silva has experienced a fantastic career ascent. After completing the youth programme at Benfica, he became a mainstay in both the team and the Portuguese national squad. Having played for Benfica for almost a century, his talent is undeniable and prominent European clubs are showing interest in him.

Liverpool is specifically searching for a new midfield player in light of Joel Matip’s departure and the doubts surrounding Ibrahima Konate’s play. Right now, Antonio Silva seems like a good fit for the Red Devils. But the fact that he is asking for roughly 100 million pounds makes it unlikely that this transfer would happen.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, was also interested in Antonio Silva but was hesitant to shell out so much cash for such a raw player. The champion of the 2023–24 Champions League may search for less expensive options to strengthen his defence in light of other possible targets.

There will be serious rivalry for Antonio Silva’s signature. Liverpool might be willing to try to sign the young defender during the summer transfer window as Arne Slot has made it a priority to hire him. Real Madrid’s chances of competing appear to be diminished as a result of their position over the player’s cost.
