Born on 6th November 1995 in Portugal, André Silva has made quite a mark in the world of football as a forward, primarily nicknaming the role of a striker. He is currently found strutting around the fields of RB Leipzig, donning the number 19 jersey. An impressive physique backs this player with a towering height of 6 ft (1.85m), and a robust weight of 13st 3lb (84kg). The forward's current market value is touted to be approximately £5.5m, as provided on Transfermarkt. His agreement with RB Leipzig is set to come to an end on 30th June 2026.
Silva began his football journey in July 2011 with Porto in the Liga Portugal, where he made strides with a debut in the 2015-2016 season. His remarkable performance saw him make nine first-team appearances with a league goal to his credit. The following season he further established his reputation with thirty-one appearances and fifteen goals. In July 2017, Silva made his move to AC Milan in Serie A, Italy, for a substantial fee of around £33m. His tenure there, however, did not echo the robust achievements of his past. With twenty-four appearances and only two goals in the 2017-2018 season, Silva's performance was modest.
In August 2018, Silva's journey led to a loan transfer to Sevilla in La Liga, Spain. Again, his performance echoed a degree of growth, with twenty-seven first team appearances, accumulating nine goals by the 2018-2019 season. In June 2019, the loan period expired, and he returned to AC Milan where his performance saw little improvement. In September 2019, another loan transfer awaited Silva; this time to Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. Silva managed to regain his stride, with twenty-five appearances and twelve goals in the 2019-2020 season, culminating in a subsequent permanent transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2020, for a fee of around £8.1m. He continued his run of form, making thirty-two appearances and an awe-inspiring twenty-eight goals in the 2020-2021 run.
In July 2021, Silva made the move to RB Leipzig for a sizeable fee of approximately £21m. Across various seasons, Silva maintained a steady, if not superstar, performance. A brief stint with Real Sociedad in Spain and then a loan to Werder Bremen in Germany further added to his extensive portfolio. Despite the various ups and downs, André Silva continues to make his mark in the football world, having taken part in the Champions League 2024 - 2025 for RB Leipzig with one start and three appearances as a substitute.
