Benfica striker with 30 goals on Simeone’s radar at Atl. Madrid | OneFootball

Fábio Silva, former youth striker for Benfica, is being linked with a possible transfer to Atlético Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window. The young striker's name has emerged among the targets identified by the Spanish club to strengthen their attacking sector.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, a specialist in transfer market matters, the Colchoneros are analyzing various striker profiles. The goal is to identify the ideal solution to fill a potential departure from Diego Simeone's squad.

The possible transfer of Julián Álvarez is at stake, a scenario that could force the Spanish capital club to look for alternatives for their attack. The club's management is therefore working proactively to define their targets.

The club, which currently occupies second place in the Bundesliga, paid around 22.5 million euros last summer of 2025 to sign him from the English side Wolverhampton, a club that, in turn, had brought him from Porto in 2020 for 40 million euros.

Fábio Silva - currently valued at 28 million euros - represented Benfica's youth teams (under-15) between 2015 and 2017, where he played 38 matches, contributing 29 goals. In the current 2025/26 season, playing for Borussia Dortmund, the Portuguese international has appeared in 27 official matches, spending 817 minutes on the pitch, scoring two goals and providing six assists.
