I have to agree Keeper but this is partly why clubs put release clauses in the contracts , we might have had to go higher to get him otherwise.We did, but he also said we would be very creative, paying 100m release clause is not my idea of creativity!
My take on it he was purchased to replace a Bernardo of sorts but I hope we keep Silva for some time to come because we need him with or without Grealish IMO and his best football is still ahead of him IMO.
