PSG ready to invest €100m to sign young defender

The summer transfer window will be really difficult for PSG, who, in addition to finding a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, are also planning to strengthen several other positions. For example, the role of a centre-back. And such reinforcement has been found in Portugal.

The Parisians are keeping an eye on Benfica's 20-year-old centre-back Antonio Silva and, according to Foot Mercato, they are considering invoking the €100 million release clause in his contract.

It is true that Manchester United have also set their eyes on the young defender but, as yet, it is not known whether the Mancunians are willing to shell out that kind of money for such a young talent, who is, however, being written out in Sir Jim Ratcliffe's transfer strategy.

The Eagles' academy pupil has played 47 games for Benfica this season, in which he even scored two goals.
