Rafa Silva’s possible departure from Benfica keeps getting more and more mentions in the Portuguese press, and today it’s being talked up, whereas yesterday it was dragged back a little.
When we covered these stories on Wednesday, some outlets said the Eagles were still to decide what to do with him, so we wondered, which placed any potential move to Wolves on hold.
But Correio da Manhã brings an article today saying Rafa could indeed be leaving the Lisbon club in January, which should put Wolves on alert.
The outlet’s story, which talks about the comings and goings for Benfica in January, says that both Rafa Silva and Gabigol are ready to leave the club in the winter transfer window.
Wolves don’t get a mention, although Correio points out that Rafa has ‘a big market in Portugal’, and the Championship side were the only one linked to him the past couple of months.
But despite the certainty of the departure, which could change again tomorrow, the local press is still lacking some details about it.
Would it be a loan or a permanent deal? How much would Wolves have to pay?
