Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı’s statements about Rafa Silva had a wide impact in Portugal.

Serdal Adalı made the following statements about Rafa Silva: “Rafa Silva’s situation is uncertain. The technical team is following him. If he wants to play, he can play. We expect 15 million euros. He who gives, gets it. A signing fee was given to the player. This price must be met. I said, ‘Play until halftime, we’ll see afterward.’ He last spoke with vice president Murat Kılıç. ‘Let’s meet later.’ they said. Rafa Silva did not want to meet again. Other than that, we had no communication.”

“IT’S UNCOMPROMISING”

Record’s deputy director, Vitor Pinto, made evaluations about this process and said, “With Rafa’s departure, he will save approximately 9 million euros from the salary burden. In other words, Beşiktaş wants to earn 24 million euros from the sale of Rafa Silva. This is really unthinkable.”
