Rui Silva, who ends his contract on June 30, can now negotiate his future with other clubs. What will happen? We take these words from Roberto Soldado In a recent interview he gave in As and that perfectly summarizes the situation regarding the goalkeeper's future: “It gives us a lot of security behind and a guarantee to have him there under the sticks. Is another player who I hope I can continue with us next year. Let's see what happens with his situation, but the desire of those of us who are with him on a day-to-day basis is for him to stay. But we know it will be difficult”.
Granada wants to renew its contract. The Portuguese is life insurance and his great performances with the Los Cármenes team have led him to be called up by Portugal (although he has not yet debuted) and several teams have noticed him. At the time, Granada dispatched the interested parties, referring them to the termination clause, 15 million euros. But now the situation is different. Six months remain for the termination of the commitment. The scenario is different. Would Granada accept to sell him now to cover his back against the possibility that 30-J leaves for free? Interesting question.
There are several teams interested in Rui Silva. In Italy it has emerged that Inter wants him as a possible replacement for Handanovic. Also Milan and Lazio. In Spain the interest of Betis is already known. In addition, Estadio Deportivo said that Sevilla also has him on their radar because Vaclik has a good chance of not staying at Sánchez Pizjuán.
Everton offer
But the interest in the goalkeeper is not limited only to Italy or Spain. According to Ideal, Everton would have put on the table a very important proposal for the next season, 2021-22 with the condition that the player is free on June 30 and, in this way, not having to pay a transfer. More competitors for Granada who will not have it easy.
As reported by Ideal Rui Silva will end the season in Los Cármenes and is not going to compromise with anyone. There are two aspects that the club is managing to try to seduce the goal. In the first place, the consolidation of the project and secondly, the continuity of Diego Martínez, the coach, who also ends a contract that is to be extended. True to its philosophy, Granada it will address these issues ‘one step at a time’ but without delay.
Rui Silva arrived at Granada in 2016-17 from the National of Madeira. In the first two seasons he was in the shadow of Ochoa, Oier and Javi Varas. He did not despair. He worked and earned the job. Now he is one of the best goalkeepers in LaLiga.
