Milan’s Summer Strategy: Jorge Mendes Paves the Way for Antonio Silva

AC Milan’s transfer market activities have been significantly influenced by super-agent Jorge Mendes, whose impact is set to continue into the summer. After successfully orchestrating the arrivals of Sergio Conceicao and Joao Felix to the Rossoneri, Mendes is now focusing on his next big move: bringing Antonio Silva to Milan.

Calciomercato report how Mendes, known for his resolute approach and two decades of experience in the football world, has already completed two major missions for Milan this winter. His excellent relationship with the club’s American ownership is expected to play a crucial role in future transfers as well.

The founder of Gestifute agency is now setting his sights on what could be considered his third mission for Milan: securing the services of Antonio Silva. Mendes is encouraged by the positive reception the young defender has received from the Rossoneri management. While Benfica managed to resist offers during the winter transfer window, the situation is likely to change come summer.

Mendes’ plan is clear: he wants to bring Antonio Silva to Milan to develop further under the guidance of Sergio Conceicao, who is an admirer of the Benfica defender. To make this deal happen, Milan will need to invest around 45 million euros.

The funds for this significant transfer could potentially come from the sale of Fikayo Tomori. Although the English defender recently turned down a move to Tottenham just days before the transfer window closed, his future at Milan seems uncertain.

This potential move aligns with Milan’s strategy of investing in young, promising talent while also strengthening their squad for future campaigns. If successful, the addition of Antonio Silva could significantly bolster Milan’s defensive options and provide a long-term solution at the back.
