Newcastle United are being linked with a move for Rafa Silva again.
According to the Sunday Mirror, the Magpies are in pole position for the 28-year-old.
Benfica star Silva has been linked with a move to St. James’ Park before.
The Sun claimed last year that Newcastle were lining up a £15 million move for the player.
Supposedly the club had been working on a project to land Silva, but it was put on hold by the pandemic.
A move never materialised. But it seems Newcastle could be about to revive their interest.
But Benfica are now said to value Silva at £30 million.
That would make a transfer very difficult since the club are claimed not to have a great deal to spend this summer.
But perhaps something could happen, with Benfica open to selling.
On social media, supporters have been offering their opinions about a potential £30 million deal for Silva.
It’s fair to say that while many rate him, few expect a deal to be completed:
