Sporting have released the financial details behind Adrien Silva's move to Leicester City, revealing the Foxes paid €29.5 million for the midfielder, who is unlikely to feature before January after the deal narrowly missed the transfer deadline.
Per Tom Webber of Goal.com, Sporting informed the Portuguese Securities Market Commission of the details behind the move, making it official. Because Leicester missed the transfer deadline by 14 seconds, he's not currently eligible to be registered, although the Foxes are still hopeful a solution can be found.
Silva was a part of the Portugal team that ran to victory at least year's European Championships and leaves Sporting after 15 years in Lisbon, having first joined the club's academy back in 2002.
