Not kept by AS Monaco after a year and a half in loan, midfielder Adrien Silva criticizes the leaders for not having kept their promise, while asking themselves serious questions about the club’s project.
Adrien Silva wanted to remain Monaco.
Like every summer, the transfer window is announced on the side of AS Monaco. On Wednesday evening, the princely club notably announced the departures of midfielders Timou Bakayoko and Adrien Silva and of striker Islam Slimani at the end of their loan.
This decision is difficult to pass on the side of Silva (31 years). Ready by Leicester since January 2019, the Portuguese international has worn the captain’s armband several times the season passes in the absence of Kamil Glik and saw himself registering the hard way on the Rock. But the leaders finally decided otherwise …
Silva falls from above …
What just happened once again comes to prove to me that nothing was ever acquired in football. In any case not before things are laid down on paper …, lamented the native of Angoulme to France Football, implying that the leaders did not keep their word. Monaco had put the wish to keep me as an executive within its next workforce. In any case, what the leaders had told me. But during the crisis, the club informed me of its change of decision. It’s something that surprised me (he searches for words).
Even if the coronavirus crisis and its heavy financial repercussions for ASM, particularly dependent on TV rights, certainly explain this turnaround, Silva considered that he deserved more consideration. When I arrived, the club was second to last! I took this risk because I wanted to replay and find coach Jardim. Immediately match with the people and I would have liked to continue here, underlined the Lusitano, used 22 times in Ligue 1 this season (for 2 assists).
Which project ? Silva wonders…
Like the historians Andrea Raggi and Danijel Subasic who recently had a rant, Silva warned the leaders about their project: I don’t know which project they opted for … Many executives have left. I don’t really know which direction the club is taking and what its new goals will be. (…) Little by little, a group was being built. A group with experienced players able to help young people, to allow them to develop themselves. Things seem to take a different turn … In charge of the new sports director, Paul Mitchell, who arrives next to a flattering reputation, to dispel doubts in order to save the princely club a third proving season.
