Adrian Silva in Rio Ave Considerations – Rio Ave

The midfielder has been without a club since leaving Al Wahda in the summer, but he has more interested parties

Midfielder Adrien Silva, 34, is on Rio Ave's list of potential targets to strengthen the squad in this winter market, as confirmed by Record. Without a club since the summer, when his contract with UAE club Al Wahda expired, the Portuguese international intends to return to action soon.

According to information gathered by our newspaper, Rio Ave is not the only one interested in the services of the midfielder who participated in Portugal's victory at Euro 2016, as several Liga Betclic logos have already inquired about the player, who also has a market abroad.

In the case of Villacondenses, the experience of Adrien Silva could be the answer to the imminent departure of Goga, the usual captain in Louis Freire's XI, to Beijing Guoan, from China. However, it is important to remember that Vila do Conde is also close to closing Joao Teixeira in the same position, as our newspaper has already reported.

He trained at Sporting, and spent most of his career with the Lions, where he also represented Académica, on loan, in Portugal. Abroad, Adrian Silva had experiences at Leicester City in England, Monaco in France, and Sampdoria in Italy, before heading to the Middle East.
