“We regret this incident.”
Elche striker Silva, who has represented Portugal 53 times, was Jota’s team-mate at Porto and also played for AC Milan, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig.
His side face Real in a La Liga encounter on Sunday.
Earlier in November, representatives of the Madrid club – including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and manager Xabi Alonso – placed a wreath in memory of Jota at Anfield before their Champions League meeting with Liverpool.
A card written by former Reds full-back Alexander-Arnold read: “My mate Diogo, you are so missed but still so loved. Yours and Andre’s memory will always live on. I smile every time I think about you and will always remember the great times we shared. Miss you mate, every day. Love Trent and family.”
