The Free Agent Coup
He becomes the second acquisition of Real this summer as a free agent. His signing comes on the heels of defender Marc Cucurella’s £52m move from Chelsea.
Real Madrid’s defense is shaping up with a year contract extension of defender Antonio Rudiger.
A Trophyless Revenge Project
Real Madrid went trophyless last season, finishing eight points off champion FC Barcelona in La Liga and were knocked out of Champions League in the quarter-finals by Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, Silva is playing the World Cup with Portugal and is expected to play a key role for his country.
Real have identified Denzel Dumfries, defender of Inter Milan, as their next target, while Liverpool’s French defender, Ibrahima Konate is expected to join as a free agent, per BBC.
