Liverpool are working to beat Manchester United with the transfer of Benfica’s young defender Antonio Silva.
The 18-year-old looks like an outstanding talent, and top scouts from a number of Europe’s elite clubs have been keeping a close eye on his progress of late.
According to O Jogo, it now appears that Liverpool are increasing their interest in Silva as they look to get ahead of rivals Manchester United.
Liverpool look in need of a major rebuild ASAP after a hugely challenging start to the 2022/23 season, with several members of Jurgen Klopp’s best teams of recent years now seeing their best selves.

Although Silva is probably not ready to break straight into the LFC starting line-up just yet, he could end up being a good long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
Man Utd would also do well to snap up the Portuguese teenager, as the club needs an upgrade on misfits like Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
