Everton hoping to snag Rui Silva from Real Betis

Everton are looking to sign Granada stopper Rui Silva on a pre-contract deal this January – despite reports claiming that the Portuguese has already agreed to join Real Betis in the summer.

The 26-year-old has been at Granada since January 2017, arriving from Liga NOS side Nacional. He has since established himself as the club’s number one goalkeeper.

Silva should be on the move this summer

Silva’s contract is set to expire in the coming months, leaving him free to negotiate a pre-contract deal this January. Real Betis looked to have won the race for his signature, with reports emerging that he had signed with Los Verdiblancos.
