Benfica’s top target for a new head coach is understood to be Marco Silva.
Nothing has been decided or agreed yet – but the Portuguese club really want him.
They are poised for talks if he decides to leave Fulham, and once Jose Mourinho‘s move to Real Madrid is ratified.
Mourinho is ready to be appointed at the Bernabeu but the spectre of a presidential election at the club may delay the move.
Meanwhile, Silva is expected to hold discussions with Fulham about his future this week, with his contract expiring next month.
On Sunday, Silva did not rule out staying but said he had not yet decided, and discussions would need to take place.
Fulham have offered him a new lucrative contract to stay at the helm which has been on the table for some time.
Silva steered them to an 11th-place finish following a final day win over Newcastle.
Meziesblog reported last week that they would target either Silva or Ruben Amorim to replace Mourinho.
