Rui Silva will be a new Real Betis Balompié player starting next summer. At the expense of seeing whether or not the Portuguese finally wears the shirt of the Verdiblanco team because there is interest from several European clubs in the player, the truth is that there is quite interesting details of the pre-contract.
Radio Sevilla has unveiled on Wednesday some of the appendices that financially punished the footballer if he broke the pre-agreement he had with Betis before February 1. If Rui Silva decided to break ties with the Verdiblancos to go to any other team, the Portuguese had to pay two million euros. In the event that the person interested in the goalkeeper was Sevilla, that figure would double up to the four million euros. The player has signed a five-year contract.

After the impossibility of signing it in summer, when Granada asked for 12 million, the efforts of the sports management to seal the aforementioned contract have not ceased. Other teams from LaLiga (Villarreal), Italy and England (Everton) have tested their future. Porto also tested his signing in the last days of January.
The future Verdiblanco goalkeeper, 26 years old and a Portuguese international in the lower divisions – he has attended some calls for the senior team but has not yet made his debut -, was trained in the lower divisions of the National of Madeira, with whose first team he debuted in 2017. He then signed for Granada in the 2017 winter market.
In the red-and-white team, Rui Silva was unpublished for nine months. He played only five official matches in the 2017-18 season, in Second, but he became indisputable since the promotion campaign, the 2018-19. Since then he has already accumulated 110 official appearances with Granada.
