FC Porto plan lightning move to secure Fábio Silva | OneFootball

The winter transfer market in Portugal closes at 11:59 PM (Portugal Mainland time) next Monday, February 2nd, but FC Porto remains interested in strengthening the squad with another forward, as reported by Antena 1 this Monday.

The same broadcast adds that the player most favored by the management led by André Villas-Boas is Fábio Silva, an athlete who has not yet been able to fully demonstrate the qualities recognized at Borussia Dortmund, a club that, last summer, paid around 22.5 million euros to 'rescue' him from Wolverhampton (which, in turn, had signed him from Estádio do Dragão in 2020 for 40 million euros).

The Portuguese international has so far scored only one goal and provided five assists in 21 official matches in the current 2025/26 season, and the blue and white club would be willing to welcome him back on loan.

The main alternative pointed out is Terem Moffi, who is on a collision course with Nice, to the point of not playing since November 30th – the date of the 3-1 defeat in Lorient – an episode that generated such indignation among fans that several players, including the Nigerian international, were assaulted.

The forward, 26 years old (as also happened with his teammate Jéremie Boga), has submitted a request to the Ligue 1 for unilateral termination of the contract valid until June 2027, without having received a response so far.

The Italian coach Francesco Farioli, who has previously coached him at Allianz Riviera, is said to have given the green light to a possible reunion. This scenario would only be viable if the contractual bond were effectively annulled, which would leave the player available at no cost.
