A Bola have revealed more details on Marco Silva’s impending switch from Fulham.
The Premier League regular is on his way back to Portugal after Jose Mourinho decided to leave Benfica for Real Madrid.
CMTV broke the news of Mourinho’s departure on Thursday night, and said Silva was ‘practically signed’ as a replacement.
A Bola have followed up, saying how easy the deal will be given his agent is Jorge Mendes who does extensive work at Benfica.
The biggest shock, though, is that Silva will take a massive salary concession.
The claim that his current annual wage at Fulham is €7.5million, but he’s willing to accept around half of that to join Benfica.
In exchange, the Eagles will give him job security of a two-year contract with the option of a third year.
He’s also expected to bring over his assistants, Gonçalo Santos, Gonçalo Pedro, and Fernando Ferreira.
