The Portuguese's current deal expires in June.
Silva said on Friday: "Sometimes people think that height and money are the most important thing. I'm not naive, those things also matter. But there are other parts that are important, he says.
"The club has a project, an idea and an ambition. When everything is presented, it's not just about contract issues. You want to see the big picture and the next steps, he says.
"Everyone at the club knows what is needed and what we are trying to do in the next window. It will be important to act."
