Spanish duo chase Silva: how BVB now view a sale | OneFootball

Two Spanish clubs have set their sights on Borussia Dortmund striker Fabio Silva. This is how the BVB bosses are reacting to the interest.

With only a few weeks left before the end of the transfer window, Borussia Dortmund apparently has to deal with interest in Fabio Silva. The Portuguese forward is on the radar of two clubs from Spain. Both Real Sociedad and Real Betis are said to be looking into the 24-year-old. So far, however, the interest has not caused any major unrest at BVB.

According to information from BILD, Silva has signaled to Dortmund’s decision-makers that he currently does not want to leave the club. Instead, the striker wants to establish himself in his second season at BVB and play in the Champions League with the Black and Yellows.

To do that, however, Silva still needs to improve on the pitch. Last summer, Dortmund initially paid €22.5 million to Wolverhampton Wanderers and handed the Portuguese player a long-term contract until 2030. So far, though, the forward has only shown the hoped-for cutting edge in patches. In 39 competitive appearances in his first BVB season, he recorded three goals and seven assists.

Even during pre-season, Silva has looked hard-working and committed, but he still lacks the necessary consistency in front of goal. There have still been positive moments: in the 1-0 win over FC Tokyo, the striker scored the decisive goal. Against Arsenal (3-2), he was also involved in the build-up to Dortmund’s early opener.

It is hardly surprising that clubs from Spain in particular are showing interest. Silva already knows La Liga from his time at UD Las Palmas. During his loan spell in the 2024/25 season, he managed ten goals and three assists in 24 league matches there – his most successful season to date in a top European league.

Although Silva is said to have considered leaving Dortmund at one point, the situation has now changed. The Portuguese player wants to embrace the competition at BVB. However, with Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier, the competition in attack is high-profile. For Dortmund, there is currently no immediate pressure to act. But if an attractive offer arrives from Spain, things could still start moving again around Silva before the transfer window closes.
