Rui Silva

Silva won his sole cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 13 November 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 away friendly defeat against England. In August 2020, he had his first senior call-up for UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Sweden the following month. On 20 May 2021, Silva was selected by manager Fernando Santos for his UEFA Euro 2020 squad. He made his debut on 9 June in the last exhibition game before the tournament, playing the entire 4–0 win over Israel in Lisbon. In October 2022, Silva was named in a preliminary 55-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He did not make the final cut, but was selected by Roberto Martínez for the following edition of the tournament.

Costing €1.5 million, he was completely unused in his first season in which the Andalusians were relegated to the Segunda División, as Guillermo Ochoa was unchallenged. Silva remained second choice, this time to Javi Varas, and debuted on 6 September 2017 in the second round of the Copa del Rey, a 3–0 away defeat to Real Zaragoza. He made four league appearances, the first being a 1–0 loss at Rayo Vallecano on 2 December while the veteran Spaniard was grieving the death of a family member.
