Till now most of the movements were indirect. Talks through representatives, growing optimism at Benfica, and Fulham are trying to convince Silva to stay.
Yesterday, we covered how the dynamic around jose mourinho Can affect his condition. And the latest reports from Tuesday show that the situation is now becoming more concrete.
according to to ballSilva is expected to be in Lisbon in midweek and should have a meeting with Benfica which could prove decisive for his future.

There is now widespread agreement in Portugal that Marco Silva’s answer is coming very soon.
record Report the Fulham manager will decide his future before Thursday. The newspaper says Silva does not want the situation to drag on any further and will soon inform Fulham of his intention to renew or leave.
Following Fulham’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United at the weekend, Silva himself effectively confirmed the urgency of the process.
“It will not go beyond this week,” He said, and also emphasized that he did not like to do so “Feed Soap Opera”.
A bola adds another important detail. Silva could travel to Lisbon without already making a final decision and potentially use the meeting with Benfica to clarify final points before deciding on his next move.
It seems that the talks are reaching the final stage.
Benfica’s confidence is increasing
surround vowels in portugal Benfica’s prospects Feels stronger than before.
One Bola described Silva as “very tempted” by the prospect of taking over at Benfica, while Fulham are pressing him with a major renewal offer and the promise of future investment.
That emotional aspect continues to be visible in the Portuguese coverage. After five years at Fulham and almost a decade coaching in England, Silva is clearly considering two different futures.
Benfica are also reportedly willing to make a huge financial effort by Portuguese standards. The newspaper says Silva considers a long-term contract necessary and Benfica is ready for that structure, although no final agreement has yet been reached.
However, Mourinho’s position continues to loom over everything. Benfica still officially have Mourinho under contract for another season and uncertainty regarding his expected move to Real Madrid remains unresolved, as we covered yesterday.
A Bola again pressed Benfica that internally it is already behaving as if Mourinho is lost, but formally nothing has been completed yet. That lingering uncertainty is still causing caution on Silva’s part.
Fulham still trying to convince Silva to stay
Meanwhile, Fulham are not backing down. The latest reports continue to suggest that the London club are doing so Working hard to keep Marco Silva And are trying to sell him a more ambitious future in the Premier League.

The same report says he currently earns around €5.8m (£4.9m), although bonuses could already boost that figure to €7.5m (£6.3m).
One Bola also confirms that Fulham’s pitch is not just financial. The club continues to invest in the squad and promise better conditions to compete for bigger goals in the Premier League.
As we previously covered, Portuguese reports have repeatedly suggested that Silva was disappointed with the level of investment last season and wanted stronger guarantees before committing again to the long term.
Either way, Marco Silva is now expected to arrive in Lisbon. So we should all get answers by the end of the week.
