Dortmund Ready To Offer Fabio Silva a Fresh Start

According to reports, the final transfer fee should land between €22m and €25m, with an announcement expected imminently. Notably, Fabio Silva joined Wolves from Porto in 2020 for a club-record £35m fee. However, the Portugese never managed to fully settle in the Premier League. The one-cap Portugal international has been loaned out four times in the last three years, spending spells at Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers and most recently Las Palmas.

At the Spanish club, Silva showed glimpses of his talent, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in 24 La Liga appearances, though he was unable to prevent their relegation. Despite that, Dortmund see him as a valuable addition to their attacking options and are ready to offer him a long-term deal. Dortmund have already signed Jobe Bellingham, Patrick Drewes, Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino in the summmer transfer window.
