Benfica's stall: Marco Silva wants guarantees, says Vítor Pinto

Vítor Pinto, Subdiretor of Record, told CMTV that Benfica have not completed the signing of an additional centre‑back because manager Marco Silva insists on receiving guarantees before finalising any deal, and the Portuguese club's pursuit remains stalled as Silva seeks contractual assurances for the defender's role and performance.

Pinto notes that, as Subdiretor of Record, he has continual access to exclusive information. He can view the newspaper's front page and the ePaper at any time.

He says this exclusive access is always available to him.
