The feeling, today, is that the parties of Milanello there was too much haste to get rid of him. Yes, because André Silva was just 6 games to take the Seville (and the chair of top scorer in Liga ...), but above all to show that the one glimpsed last season with the Milan shirt was really too bad to be real .
The Portuguese striker in this first glimpse of the season in Spain has been reborn and the numbers prove it: 6 goals in 6 league games (hat trick at Rayo Vallecano, Levante goal, two goals at Real Madrid), 540 minutes played (almost all in which took place in Sevilla) and especially the provisional title of Pichichi della Liga in front of Lionel Messi, Iago Aspas and Christian Stuani. Not only that, André Silva is proving to be a true talisman: every time he scores, Sevilla wins.
An explosion that has long been expected - given that talent has never been questioned - and that it would seem (the conditional is a must) to have arrived in Spain where Silva found space, confidence and immediately felt at the center of the Machín technical project. So much so that the sports director of the Seville, Joaquin Caparros, has already announced that he wants to exercise the ransom from Milan: "We have a right and we hope to exercise it.It does not matter the amount we will have to pay".
To be honest, however, it must be said that the Silva seen in Milan was very little: 2 goals only in the league, both in March, against Genoa and Chievo, and a lot, a lot, bench. Too little for those who had arrived for 38 million euros with the investiture of Cristiano Ronaldo ("When I retire, Portugal will still be in good hands, we found a great striker like André Silva") and as one of the best shots of the crowded Fassone-Mirabelli market. André Silva apart from the exploits in the Europa League at the beginning of the season (5 goals against Austria in a round trip and 1 in Rijeka) left no traces in the championship and not even in the Cup.
The Rossoneri in the summer so they decided to let him go on loan with a right of redemption to 35 million euros, although now that Higuain is stuck in the pits and that Empoli Gattuso is forced to an improvised striker (in all likelihood Borini, since Cutrone has just returned from the injury), many regret it already.
