The state of grace of former Sevilla player André Silva does not go unnoticed in the Atlético de Madrid offices, where they seem determined to push hard for the Eintracht Frankfurt forward after a spectacular start to the year. The Portuguese striker adds eight goals in just six games and is the main culprit that the eagles have fully gotten into the fight for the Champions League, benefits that, according to the German newspaper Bild, have caused the mattress club to want to go for the scorer in summer.
According Transfernarkt, ehe Atlético already tested the 25-year-old player during the winter market, but it did not take long to receive a negative response from those responsible for the Hessian team. The leadership of Eintracht did not contemplate the sale of Silva at that time, something that could change at the end of the season. As detailed by Bild, in Frankfurt, they would be willing to negotiate if an offer well above 30 million euros arrives. Eintracht himself paid 3 kilos to Milan to take over Silva's services in 2020.
Much will also depend on the long-awaited qualification for the Champions League. If this is not achieved, everything points to Eintracht being forced to seek a way out of the Portuguese two years before the end of its contract at the Commerzbank Arena. There are several clubs that would rub their hands if Eintracht put their killer in the showcase. In addition to Atlético de Madrid, numerous clubs in England (especially Wolverhampton) and the Bundesliga itself closely follow the evolution of a player who has scored 17 goals in the last 19 games.
