While you guys are discussing random subjects, Silves has already been bought (by an italian team) and put on the market again, with the sole purpose of winning today's cup match.
At this point, paying the player's salary when the player is bought seems like an absolute necessity. Basically the dude that bought him could buy a monster a week right up to the cup final (he and everybody else) and not pay a dime except for the taxes he forfeits when he sells him, since the transfer price is alway more or less the same...1M-1.3M.
