Benfica presidential candidate João Noronia Lopez recently interviewed the newspaper. He said he is committed to getting Bernardo Silva to return to Benfica in January or summer next year, and emphasized that early January is the key goal.
Lopez said: "Yes, I confirm that there is a contract waiting for Bernardo Silva to sign. I strongly hope to bring back the B seat in January. He perfectly reflects my expectations for Benfica: identity, victory culture, and a loyal Benfica fan. I can assure you that our plan will never stop here, Benfica is above everything else."
