Born on November 6, 1995, in Portugal, André Silva stands as an influential player in the football realm, currently serving as a forward for RB Leipzig. With a height expanse of 6ft (1.85m), he carries about 13st 3lb (84kg) on the field and has donned the number 19 jersey. Silva's significant contribution to the sport is esteemed at approximately £5m as per information on Transfermarkt. His allegiance to RB Leipzig is expected to continue till 30 June 2026.
Silva's professional journey began with Porto in Liga Portugal in July 2011 where his performance gradually steeped through the 2015 - 2016 and 2016 - 2017 seasons, concluding with a record of 15 goals from 31 appearances. In July 2017, a substantial fee of £33m transferred him to AC Milan in Italy, manifesting in variable field presentations during the seasons till 2020.
An interim move to Sevilla on loan in August 2018 marked Silva's foray into LaLiga, Spain. With 27 appearances and nine goals chalked up to his name, he returned to AC Milan in June 2019 post the loan term. Subsequently, in September 2019, Silva was set on another loan journey, this time to Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. The new tenure appeared successful with a total of 40 goals from 57 appearances over two seasons.
Such significant performance led to a secure transfer of Silva from AC Milan to Eintracht Frankfurt for £8.1m in September 2020. However, within a year, in July 2021, a deal of £21m resulted in Silva moving to RB Leipzig, where he marked his space by scoring 15 goals in 64 appearances until the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season.
Yet another loan experience was to follow in August 2023, this time with Real Sociedad in Spain. Post a year of mixed results, Silva returned to RB Leipzig in June 2024, where he continues his commitment as of the present 2024 - 2025 season. Despite frequent moves and variable performances, Silva made his notable presence in the Champions League 2024 - 2025 with two appearances as a substitute for RB Leipzig.
