RB Leipzig have completed a swoop for Eintracht Frankfurt’s André Silva after the Portuguese striker netted 28 Bundesliga goals last season.
The 25-year-old moves to Leipzig for an initial fee reported to be in the region of €23m. His contract runs until 2026.
Silva moved to Frankfurt from AC Milan on an initial loan deal in 2019 and went on to score 45 goals in 71 appearances for the club in all competitions.
“I’m really excited for the new challenge at RB Leipzig,” he told his new club’s official website.
“The club have big goals and ambitions and I want to help them achieve those, ideally by scoring as many goals as possible. I want to play at the highest level and that is Champions League football – I have the chance to do that on a regular basis at RB Leipzig.
“It didn’t take long for the club’s management to convince me of their vision and above all their footballing philosophy. Even though I’ve still got some time off to enjoy, I’m already buzzing to get going in the new season with RB Leipzig.
“I would like to sincerely thank Eintracht Frankfurt. I had two amazing and successful years there and was able to really develop as a player.”
