Talks Continue Between Partizan and Fenerbahçe's Center Chris Silva
According to a report first announced by Basketball Sphere, Partizan has moved for Fenerbahçe's 29-year-old big man Chris Silva, and talks between the two sides are ongoing. If an agreement is reached, Silva is expected to join the Belgrade club.
Chris Silva's chances of leaving Fenerbahçe are growing. According to a report first published by Basketball Sphere and also confirmed by Eurohoops sources, Partizan has moved for the 29-year-old big man, and talks between the two sides are continuing.
Silva drew interest from several EuroLeague teams after his performances with AEK last season. At the time, Partizan and Barcelona were also reported to be interested in the player, but the Angolan-born big man chose Fenerbahçe.
Unable to find the minutes he wanted at Fenerbahçe, Silva played 16 EuroLeague games in the 2025-26 season, averaging 4.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. In eight Turkish Basketball Super League games, he played around 15 minutes per game and produced 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds. This season, Silva has appeared in four EuroLeague games, contributing 1.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game in an average of 5 minutes and 48 seconds.
The addition of Dwight Powell to Fenerbahçe's frontcourt rotation has further reduced Silva's opportunities. The report states that if a deal is agreed, the player is expected to join the Belgrade club, and that Partizan would pay about 100 thousand dollars per month for him. Partizan, which has been dealing with injuries and absences in its frontcourt, is reportedly keen to conclude the transfer quickly.
