Andre Silva on the move?

Reports from both Spain and Italy indicate that Andre Silva could be on the path to Italian giants Juventus. 

The 23-year old striker has been in sensational form for Sevilla so far this season, his 8 goals in 16 La Liga games, playing a crucial role in his side obtaining an impressive 3rd place position in the Spanish top flight.

His goals have seen him become the joint 7th top scorer in the Spanish league, with the same number of goals as World Cup champion Antoine Griezmann.

As a result, it is believed that Sevilla are very interested in making his loan to the club from AC Milan permanent, with the option to buy Silva just shy of 40 million euros.

However, despite this agreement already in place should Sevilla want to buy the Portuguese striker, there is thought to be interest from elsewhere, and Juventus are thought to be real candidates in bringing in the Portuguese.

Juventus, it can be recalled, were interested in Silva when he was at Porto, but Silva ultimately elected to join AC Milan instead, where he had a less than spectacular time.

Whether he'll want to return to Italy after that nightmare experience remains to be seen, although at Juventus he would be joining up with compatriots Cristiano Ronaldo and João Cancelo, which could prove vital in any decision he makes to join.

According to Calcio News, the Portuguese striker would likely be involved in a deal that would see Higuain, who is currently on loan at AC Milan from Juventus, move to Milan on a permanent deal in return.

That said, any deal for Silva to join Juventus seems far from likely, but with agent Jorge Mendes involved, anything is possible.
