Silva completes his transfer to Bournemouth

The 22-year-old defender played the full 90 minutes for Benfica against St. Gallen in the UEFA Europa League qualifying play-offs.

Bournemouth are seeking to sign a defender following the departure of Marcus Senesi, and the Portuguese international fits the profile of the player the club is targeting.

Silva was part of the Portuguese national team that competed in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and won the UEFA Nations League with his country in 2025, but he was not included in the squad for the 2026 World Cup.
