David Silva, the former Manchester City player, is set to return to professional football at the age of 40. According to Europa Press and Libertad Digital, he has signed with Supreme Sha Tin, a club in the Hong Kong League. He had announced his retirement in July 2023 after a serious knee injury.

In comments reported by ElDesmarque, the attacking midfielder was keen to clarify the conditions of his return, insisting that the financial aspect was not the motivation: "Don't worry too much" and "Some worry about the financial side, that's not the case." The Daily Mail and 20minutos also confirm this information.
