Bruno Lage wants to sign Manu Silva on loan for Al Diriyah, a club in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese coach knows the Benfica midfielder well from his time at Clube da Luz and sees in him a solution for the midfield of the Saudi team.
The possible arrival of João Palhinha at Benfica could further reduce the space of the number 16 in the red and white squad, which makes this transfer a possibility to consider for both parties.
Bruno Lage particularly appreciates Manu Silva's characteristics and intends to use his knowledge of the player to convince him to head to the Middle East, with the intention of securing the loan.
However, Benfica is not available to facilitate the departure of the midfielder. Despite admitting to analyzing an eventual loan, the red and white structure considers Manu Silva an important asset and does not intend to accept any proposal that is not up to their demands.
