Sunderland boss expects Da Silva to leave

The Paraguay international defender’s move to Mexican side Cruz Azul has fallen through, but Bruce has revealed interest from Spanish side Real Zaragoza in the 30-year-old.

The Sunderland boss told The Journal: “Paulo turned down the move to Cruz Azul and I think the Mexican window is shut.

“There is interest in Spain and that might develop. Real Zaragoza want him, so something might happen there.”
