It has a slight whiff of possibly happening. More so than I possibly initially thought. You feel like when clubs repeatedly come back, they've had some encouragement to do so from someone significant, be it the player himself/agent or even the selling club potentially.
I still think Brands likes him, no reason to think Silva doesn't either. That said, they may feel if they got a decent offer they could bring in a player further along in their development perhaps?
Despite a decent loan spell he hasn't as yet proven himself a PL regular. Dunno. Still think it's unlikely, but I'd not be surprised if they've been given reason to keep this pursuit going, which isn't ideal but not irreversible either.
