Rafa Silva’s transfer from Besiktas to Benfica is imminent and there is information on the official Liga Portugal website that seems to reinforce this idea. Bruma, who recently recovered from injury and returned last week to José Mourinho’s options, appears on the website of the organization that oversees professional competitions with the number 7, and not 27, as last season and at the start of this season — it was with him that he went to the bench against Rio Ave, on Saturday —, and thus remains free in the Eagles’ squad.
The number 27 is precisely Rafa Silva’s favorite, a number that the striker wore for seven and a half seasons at Benfica, before moving to Besiktas, in Turkey — where he also wears the number 27 shirt.
The number 7, which Bruma has now adopted, was on Akturkoglu’s shoulders until the Turkish player left for Fenerbahçe, in the last days of the summer market.
Everything indicates that Rafa Silva is very close to returning to Benfica, as A BOLA has already stated. The deal is expected to involve a value of between five and six million euros for the player’s pass, who has been in conflict with Besiktas for some time.
