FC Porto ready lightning move to land 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 yet to fully demonstrate the recognized qualities 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 emblem would be willing to welcome him back on loan.

The main alternative mentioned is Terem Moffi, who is at odds with Nice, to the point of not playing since November 30th – the date of the 3-1 defeat in Lorient – an episode that caused 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 filed with Ligue 1 for a unilateral termination of the contract valid until June 2027, without having received a response so far.

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