Fabio Silva rumours: are Dortmund in talks with Real Betis? | OneFootball

After his first start for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday during the cup exit against Bayer Leverkusen (0:1), Fabio Silva found himself on the bench again at kickoff against TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday, as has been the case almost always during his initial months at BVB. It was only in the final minute that the Portuguese player was allowed to replace Serhou Guirassy, and promptly new transfer speculations emerged regarding the forward who is unhappy with his playing time at Borussia.

BVB is said to have already made it clear to Silva's agents that a departure in winter is out of the question, but nevertheless, the player side seems to be continuously exploring the alternatives available on the market. In addition to AS Roma, which showed strong interest in the summer, and clubs from the English Premier League, several clubs from Spain are reportedly expressing interest.

New attempt at BVB in the summer?

Espanyol Barcelona, FC Valencia, as well as Betis and FC Sevilla, have long been linked with Silva, who, in view of his chances of going to the 2026 World Cup with Portugal, wants and needs to play more than he has so far at BVB.

According to the portal "Estadio Deportivo," Betis Sevilla, in particular, is said to be stepping on the gas and pushing for Silva's signing. Betis is reportedly already in talks with both the player himself and BVB about a half-year loan until the summer, which is not supposed to include a purchase option. Betis would apparently be willing to take over Silva's salary in full from January.

In the coming summer, Silva could then return to Dortmund and make a new attempt – especially if Guirassy, whose departure at the end of the season is considered not unlikely, is no longer there. However, BVB signed Silva not least to have a strong backup for Guirassy. Therefore, it remains rather difficult to imagine that Borussia would actually give the green light for a winter loan.
