Are Milan trying to hijack Silva’s move to Dortmund? | OneFootball

The long-awaited back-up striker for Serhou Guirassy (29) seemed to have finally been found with Fábio Silva. According to BVB's plans, the 23-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers forward is intended as an alternative or even a complement to the top scorer. But now Milan is intervening.

According to Sky, the transfer fee for Silva is said to be between 22 and 25 million euros. The player and the club have reportedly already agreed on a move to the Bundesliga. However, the involved parties are apparently not that far along yet. While Borussia Dortmund announced on Tuesday (August 26) the signing of Carney Chukwuemeka (21), they have not yet announced the signing of the Wolves striker.

As long as Silva has not signed a contract with BVB, the Rossoneri can still hope to secure the Portuguese player. And according to transfer expert Rudy Galetti, they are doing just that. The Italians are reportedly giving priority to the transfer of the one-time national player.

A few weeks ago, AS Roma was also reportedly interested in Silva. However, concrete talks about a transfer did not take place at that time. The 23-year-old had not been opposed to a move to Serie A.

Harder Milan's Transfer Target Number 1

Milan's interest stems from the yet-to-be-realized transfer of Conrad Harder. The 20-year-old Dane has been scoring goals for Sporting Lisbon for a year and is supposed to move to the capital of Lombardy for around 23 million euros. However, the Portuguese club needs a replacement themselves. According to Kicker, this is supposed to be Fotis Ioannidis (25) from Panathinaikos Athens.

It seems Milan is looking for an alternative should the deal with Sporting fall through. This is not out of the question, as the seemingly certain transfer of Leverkusen's Victor Boniface (24) to the Rossoneri recently failed. The striker's right knee reportedly showed abnormalities during the medical check.

If Harder unexpectedly does not go to AC Milan, Silva might reconsider his options.
