In the latest installment of Football League World’s ‘Terrace Talk’ series, speculation surrounds Coventry City’s Jay Dasilva as he attracts interest from European clubs ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. The left-back has caught the eye of Bundesliga outfit Freiburg, according to reports from Alan Nixon.
Dasilva, who signed for Coventry as a free agent last season after departing Bristol City, made 37 appearances for the Sky Blues, contributing three assists and playing a key role in their journey to the FA Cup semi-finals. Despite falling behind Jake Bidwell in the pecking order, Dasilva’s attacking prowess has not gone unnoticed by fans.
Coventry enthusiast Neil Littlewood believes that while Dasilva’s departure would be a loss, it wouldn’t be detrimental to the squad. Littlewood highlights Dasilva’s technical ability, especially his first touch and crossing, as his standout qualities. The potential sale of Dasilva, who was signed on a free transfer, could fetch a significant profit for Coventry, with a suggested valuation of up to £750,000.
With interest from a Bundesliga club and a contract that runs until 2027, Coventry holds a strong negotiating position and could potentially demand a seven-figure fee for the 26-year-old. This situation presents an opportunity for Coventry to maximize the value of any potential sale and strengthen their squad for the future.
