Bournemouth complete the signing of Portugal defender António Silva from Benfica, with multiple reports placing the transfer fee at around £25m. Vanguard reports the deal is worth £25m, while BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports describe a figure that can reach about £25.7m, depending on add-ons. Another Yahoo report also cites a reported €30 million (approximately £25.6m). The player joins Bournemouth on a five-year contract, according to Yahoo Sports. Silva is described as excited to move to the Premier League and play for Bournemouth, echoing quotes reported by Yahoo Sports and BBC Sport. The signing comes shortly after Bournemouth make another addition earlier in the week, with Vanguard noting their pursuit of Elche forward Álvaro Rodríguez. Overall, the outlets agree on the club, the player, the source club Benfica, the contract length, and an estimated transfer cost in the mid-£20 million range, varying slightly by currency conversion and potential performance-related clauses.
