New links to Italy: AS Roma keen on Fabio Silva again | OneFootball

With his brief appearance, crowned by his assist for Karim Adeyemi’s headed goal to make it 2-0, Fabio Silva earned some points in Saturday’s match against Bayer Leverkusen (2-1) and has moved closer to Borussia Dortmund’s starting eleven, especially due to Serhou Guirassy’s dip in form. At the same time, new speculation is arising about the Portuguese international striker, who has recently been rumored to be considering a transfer.

After recently being linked with four Spanish clubs—Espanyol Barcelona, Valencia, Betis, and Sevilla—according to internationally well-connected transfer insider Sacha Tavolieri, AS Roma is now also reportedly sensing a new opportunity to sign the 23-year-old.

Roma Needs Offensive Reinforcement

Roma, who lost the top match against SSC Napoli 0-1 on Sunday evening and thus dropped from first to fourth place, was already highly interested in Silva during the summer, but at that time he chose the offer from Dortmund. Now, the Giallorossi, who have scored only 15 goals in the first 13 Serie A matchdays and could therefore use some offensive reinforcement, are said to have resumed contact with Silva’s agents.

Apparently, Roma does not see itself without a chance, partly because Silva himself is reportedly considering leaving Dortmund again. However, the longer lever in January is certainly held by BVB, who are unlikely to let go of their summer signing so soon, especially in light of his current upward trend. Moreover, it is currently highly questionable whether Guirassy will still be wearing the black and yellow jersey beyond this season.

According to Tavolieri, Manchester United and Chelsea—two clubs for whom Guirassy’s release clause would apply in the summer—have already expressed concrete interest. Thus, the scenario in which Guirassy fulfills his dream of joining a top club and simultaneously vacates the spot as Dortmund’s number one striker seems quite conceivable.
