André Silva before changing winter? RB Leipzig plans transfer advance!

André Silva, the Portuguese striker of RB Leipzig, will be for sale, according to reports from "Sky" in the upcoming winter transfer window. The 27-year-old attacker received only a measly 24 minutes of playing over three games this season. His only scorer point comes from an assist in the DFB Cup against Rot-Weiss Essen. In the squad with Loïs Openda, Benjamin Sesko and Yussuf Poulsen are already in the striker hierarchy.

Silva, whose contract runs until 2026, receives an annual salary of around 7 million euros net. These massively increased salary costs are pushing the Saxons to find a solution. Last season Silva was borrowed to Real Sociedad, and Leipzig would have liked to make such a loan this summer too, but this failed. The pressure is growing to finally reduce this salary load, as reports www.transfermarkt.de .
