Enters as substitute
Silva had one clearance in Thursday's 2-1 victory against Croatia.
Analysis: Silva would come on the field as a super-sub for Portugal as they found themselves two down, recording 28 minutes of play. He would only notch a clearance and eight completed passes, not seeing too much work despite scoring two goals while he was on the field. He has yet to start since their opener, appearing for 42 combined minutes in two appearances off the bench while going unused once since then.
Joins Real Madrid on two-year deal
Silva signed with Real Madrid on a two-year contract through June 2028, the club announced.
Analysis: Silva arrives from Manchester City as one of the most decorated midfielders of his generation, having spent nearly a decade at the Etihad where he made 460 appearances and won 19 titles including the Champions League, six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and five League Cups. The Portuguese international is renowned for his technical quality, exceptional final pass, dribbling ability and composure under pressure, and brings valuable set-piece expertise and leadership to the Real Madrid squad. His remarkable injury record adds another layer of reassurance, having suffered just eight muscular injuries over the past decade and missing only 11 club matches through muscular pain during that period. At 1.73 meters, Silva is expected to operate either in support of Jude Bellingham or on the right wing under coach Jose Mourinho's anticipated 4-2-3-1 system, with the central midfield positions likely reserved for Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde. The Lisbon-born midfielder came through the Benfica academy before loan and permanent moves to Monaco, where he won the Ligue 1 title in 2016-17, before establishing himself as a Manchester City legend. His arrival at the Bernabeu represents one of the most significant signings of the summer transfer window.
