Exit or stay? Silva leaves his BVB future open | OneFootball

After the Super Cup defeat to FC Bayern, Fabio Silva has caused a stir with comments about his future. The BVB forward is leaving the door open to a departure.

Fabio Silva sparked fresh speculation about his future after Borussia Dortmund’s defeat to FC Bayern in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup. The Portuguese attacker wants a bigger role at BVB — and did not rule out leaving shortly before the end of the transfer window.

In the 1-2 loss to the Munich side, Silva at least made an impact on the pitch. In the 75th minute, the forward scored to pull one back and bring Dortmund back into the game. For the 24-year-old, it was his fourth goal in his 40th competitive appearance for BVB.

After the match, Silva made it clear that he is not entirely satisfied with his current role. “I want to be more important. If I said anything else, I’d be lying,” the striker said in the mixed zone. More starts are apparently his main objective. Silva only joined Dortmund from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer for €22.5 million and is under a long-term contract.

So far, however, he has not managed to establish himself as a regular starter. In central attack, Serhou Guirassy is the first choice under coach Niko Kovac, while Maximilian Beier also provides further competition. Nevertheless, Silva is convinced of his abilities and does not see himself solely as a traditional center-forward. “I’m not a normal No. 9, I’m a 9.5,” the Portuguese said, referring to his qualities as a creator and his movement in attack.

Whether he will continue to show those qualities in Dortmund in the future is apparently still not окончательно clarified. Asked about his future, Silva remained guarded: “That’s not the most important thing right now. I don’t know what will happen. I feel good. Of course I want to start more games and help the team.”

According to reports, BVB are in principle open to a sale in the final days of the transfer window. Clubs from Spain and Turkey are said to be potential interested parties. Dortmund would likely require an offer of around €20 million before seriously entering into negotiations over a transfer.
