Vitória de Guimarães are trying to secure the return of Tiago Silva in this summer transfer window. The SAD led by Rui Rodrigues wants to strengthen the midfield with an experienced player and sees the former captain as an ideal solution for the new season.
The midfielder left the Minho club in the August window to join Al-Rayyan of Qatar, a club with whom he is under contract until 2027. Last season, he made 25 appearances, scoring two goals and providing five assists for the Qatari side.
Despite the interest from Vitória, the deal is not yet done. In addition to Tiago Silva still having one year left on his contract with Al-Rayyan, the salary he earns is far beyond Vitória’s financial reality, which means a solution must be found that satisfies all parties.
Even so, the Portuguese player has once again come back into Vitória’s plans, despite the controversy surrounding his departure from the club, when he exchanged words with then-president António Miguel Cardoso. His return remains an objective for Vitória’s SAD.
