Remember him? Fábio Silva signs for Dortmund | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is about to confirm, in the coming hours, the signing of the Portuguese international Fábio Silva from Wolverhampton, after reaching an agreement with the English club in a deal worth 25 million euros.

The German club already had a preliminary understanding with the Portuguese forward.

This Tuesday, AC Milan tried until the end to divert Fábio Silva from Dortmund, but the player kept his word and, according to Fabrizio Romano, will sign a five-year contract with the German giant.

Besides AC Milan, Leipzig also expressed interest in the former FC Porto player, as did AS Roma, which is now expected to move forward for Franculino Djú, a Guinean trained at Benfica who has been standing out at Midtjylland in Denmark.

The deal represents a good operation for Wolverhampton, as the footballer had only one year left on his contract with the English club.

Trained at FC Porto and having played for Wolves, Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers, and Las Palmas, Fábio Silva will, at 23 years old, represent his seventh country.

Signed by Wolverhampton from FC Porto for 40 million euros in 2020, Fábio Silva never established himself at Wolves, scoring only five goals in 72 matches.

In 2023/24, he was loaned to Rangers, where he scored six goals and provided one assist in 25 appearances. Last season, he played on loan at Las Palmas, in the Spanish first division, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in 25 games.
