A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from NUFC 360, which has relayed news from the Sunday Mirror regarding Rafa Silva (Sunday Mirror via HITC).
They claim that the Benfica man’s agent has identified a move to the Toon this summer as he looks to leave the Estadio Da Luz.
This has drawn the attention of these Newcastle fans who would love to see Silva on Tyneside.
“Quality player but doubt we’ll sign him”
“Had me excited until I read the source”
“Premier league is not ready”
“Don’t gas me this guy is amazing”
“On my knees”
Can Newcastle sign Rafa Silva?
No, not under Ashley
Yes, it could happen
The 28-year-old has 23 caps for his country and can play on either wing or just behind the striker and scored five goals and provided six assists in the league during the 2020/21 season.
This would have made him the Toon’s third-top goalscorer and top assist provider, so you would think he could improve this Newcastle squad.
However, these Toon fans can’t see their club signing Silva.
“Sadly he wont be at top of ashleys list at 30m”
“His agent must be dreadful”
It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer, but it is clear that many Newcastle fans can’t see Silva signing for them.
