Move to Betis made official Silva signed with Real Betis on Friday. He's committed to a five-year contract with his new club.

Impact Silva, who went from the Spanish second division to the Europa League and Portuguese national team while with Granada, was expected to make this switch since January. For now, the 2020/21 season should be considered somewhat of an anomaly as Silva went from one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga to the second-worst by goals conceded, and he should get more support when backed up by a deeper roster with more money to spend. The only predicament will be competing with Joel Robles and Claudio Bravo for the starting job, though the length of Silva's contract and his still-climbing trajectory should hive him an early edge heading into next season.

This bad record isn't entirely indicative of his skills, as Silva still secured multiple wins and kept his team in games with major saves. He'll be worth following next season whether or not he's still with Granada.
