André Silva will discover La Liga. The 29 -year -old Portuguese striker officially leaves the RB Leipzig to join Elche. The two clubs have reached an agreement around € 1 million fixed, with € 500,000 in bonuses. Silva is expected in Spain in the coming hours to spend his medical examination and sign his contract according to Sky Germany. The Werder Bremen, for an interested time, was quickly put aside: the player had eyes only for Elche.
A choice that confirms the astonishing trajectory of a center-forward long announced as one of the great European hopes. Passed by Porto, Milan, Seville, Frankfurt or even Leipzig, André Silva has never managed to impose himself durably despite some shots. Arrive today in Elche, a modest resident of Liga, illustrates a half-tone career, far from the initial promises.
