Remember him? Fábio Silva signs for Dortmund | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is about to confirm, in the coming hours, the signing of 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 striker.

This Tuesday, AC Milan tried until the very end to hijack 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.

In addition to AC Milan, Leipzig also showed interest in the former FC Porto player, as did AS Roma, which should now 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 with spells at Wolves, Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers, and Las Palmas, Fábio Silva, at 23 years old, will be representing 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 Spain’s top division, tallying 10 goals and three assists in 25 games.
