Rafa Silva Announces Plans to Retire

Portugal national team and Beşiktaş player Rafa Silva is planning to retire from professional football, as reported by Halk TV.

According to the source, Silva, who plays as a winger, no longer derives the same joy from playing football as he once did. The club's president is reportedly trying to convince him to reconsider his decision.

Their first discussion on the matter took place before the derby match against Fenerbahçe, after which the 32-year-old player took to the field.

It is expected that a final decision regarding this issue will be made during a new meeting between Silva and the club president. It is possible that the Portuguese player may need to be compensated for terminating his contract early.

Rafa Silva has spent most of his professional career in his home country, Portugal. He has played for Braga and Benfica.
