Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing a move for talented young midfielder, Alex Silva, currently playing for Portuguese side, Benfica. Sources suggest Los Blancos are scouting Silva extensively, impressed by his dribbling skills and passing ability.

Silva, 19, has been a standout performer for Benfica's youth academy and has made several appearances for the first team. His contract is due to expire in the summer of 2024, potentially making him available for a relatively lower fee.

While Benfica are keen to keep their young star, Real Madrid's reputation and financial power could prove too tempting for the Portuguese club to resist. Rumours suggest a bid of around €80 million could be enough to persuade Benfica to sell.

Further updates on this developing story will be provided as they emerge.
