Mile Svilar set for Benfica exit

Benfica wonderkid Mile Svilar is unlikely to spend next season at Estadio da Luz, according to A Bola.

The 18-year-old was surprisingly given a chance to shine this season, and while he showed a great deal of promise, he also exhibited the lack of first team experience, committing some costly mistakes.

That is why Benfica officials plan to farm out Svilar on a season-long loan to a club where he would get regular first team action.

Chances are several Primeira Liga clubs will be keen on the former Anderlecht youngster, while sides from abroad could join the race as well.

Mile Svilar made a total of three league appearances for Benfica this season, while also featuring in three Champions League fixtures.
