Venezia are seeking to reinforce their attacking options in the January transfer window, with Portuguese striker Andre Silva emerging as an intriguing potential addition to the squad.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the club have been exploring multiple striking options, including ongoing negotiations for Andrea Belotti and Eldor Shomurodov. Andre Silva represents an unexpected but exciting possibility that could potentially elevate the team’s offensive capabilities under coach Di Francesco.
The potential Silva signing comes at a critical moment, as team captain Joel Pohjanpalo appears set to leave for Palermo. The Finnish striker has reportedly accepted a lucrative four-and-a-half-year contract that Venezia cannot match financially.
Palermo have been working diligently to complete Pohjanpalo’s transfer, with an offer slightly above four million euros on the table. Despite fan protests and Pohjanpalo’s deep connection to Venezia, the move seems increasingly likely.
Silva, who previously played for Milan and has struggled for game time at RB Leipzig, could be an ideal replacement. The 29-year-old striker brings significant Serie A experience and could provide the attacking spark Venezia needs in the wake of Pohjanpalo’s potential departure.
