Rouven Schröder, the new sporting director of RB Salzburg, dismissed the rumored interest in Portuguese striker André Silva, who is currently under contract with RB Leipzig until 2026. Schröder stated to 'Sky Austria' that there is no chance of signing Silva, labeling the rumors as false despite reports from 'Salzburger Nachrichten' suggesting interest.

André Silva is being considered for a transfer to RB Salzburg as the club faces a striker shortage following Karim Konaté's injury. Rouven Schröder, who recently became the Sporting Director at RB Salzburg, has expressed interest in acquiring Silva for the team. Silva has found it challenging to establish himself as a regular starter at RB Leipzig since his move from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2021, and he is reportedly open to leaving Sachsen. RB Leipzig is also open to either a loan or a sale of the player.
