Forward suggested to Sporting made a point of thanking for everything he experienced and sets off for an adventure in the Bundesliga for €22M
The Borussia Dortmund has officially announced the signing of Fábio Silva. The Portuguese striker – who was recommended to Sporting – signs a contract with the German club until 2030. The figures of the deal were not disclosed, but are expected to be around 22 million euros, plus objectives.
The Portugal international thus ends his contract with the English club Wolverhampton, where he arrived in 2020. Last season, on loan at Las Palmas, he scored ten goals in 25 games, numbers insufficient to prevent the Spanish team’s relegation.
Through social media, the player said an emotional farewell. The forward made a point of thanking for everything he experienced in England and the lessons he learned at Wolverhampton, and now prepares to be coached by Niko Kovac in Germany.
Fábio Silva: "I know I didn’t even come close to meeting expectations"
"When I arrived at Wolves, I came full of ambition, dreams, and the desire to make a real impact. I know I didn’t even come close to meeting expectations. But football and life are more than just numbers or moments on the pitch. During my time here, I grew, I learned, and above all, I discovered the true meaning of family. That’s what Wolves gave me," he began to write.
Fábio Silva: "I leave with a bittersweet feeling, but also with pride"
The player says he will not forget his time in the Premier League: "(...) Life taught me never to give up, to fight twice as hard when things don’t go as planned. I always tried to stay true to that, to keep seeking my happiness and well-being, even when the path became difficult. I leave with a bittersweet feeling, but also with pride, knowing I gave everything and never stopped trying. Now it’s time for a new chapter, but I won’t forget where I’ve been. I will always be another fan of this club. Thank you, Wolves. From the bottom of my heart," you can read.
