Adrien Silva was almost a Leicester City player last summer. The Sporting midfielder thought he was joining the Premier League champions, and spoke out publicly about the transfer.
Once again a transfer could be on. Portugal’s Jornal de Noticias report that Sporting are looking to raise as much as €135m from three transfers this summer, with Adrien one of them. Liverpool and Juventus are said to be interested, and therefore possible destinations for the midfielder.
Jornal de Noticias say, as they’ve previously reported, both Liverpool and Juventus have been watching the Sporting player during the current campaign.
Sporting have Adrien on a contract until June 2020, with a further year option, which means Liverpool would likely have to pay the 28 year old’s €45m clause, or close to it.
That could be asking too much from Jurgen Klopp’s club, as it was for Leicester City, but Sporting may have to bring their demands down if they struggle to make sales at the beginning of the window.
