Transfer furore over Fábio Silva: five La Liga clubs chase BVB striker | OneFootball

Will Borussia Dortmund keep Fábio Silva (23)? The Portuguese striker only joined BVB last year. But after just one season with the Black and Yellows, a departure could already be on the cards again.

Silva caused quite a stir in La Liga during the 2024/25 season. Wolverhampton Wanderers had previously sent the hard-working forward to Spain on loan to UD Las Palmas. But even the Portuguese could not prevent the club from the holiday island of Gran Canaria from being relegated. Despite his ten goals and three assists, the Amarillos went down to the second division.

Wolves brought Silva back and immediately sold him to BVB for €22.5 million. “Fábio brings a lot of quality: goal threat, intensity, pace, and he can be deployed flexibly in several positions. All of that, together with the fact that he is a success-driven, hard-working striker, makes this transfer very valuable for us,” enthused then sporting director Sebastian Kehl (46) during the presentation of the new signing.

No way past Guirassy

The one-time Portugal international, who is under contract with BVB until 2030, repeatedly showed flashes of his ability. But in the end, Silva could not get past Serhou Guirassy (30). He made 39 appearances for the Westphalians, but his tally of ten goal contributions was hardly impressive. He did not play a single match for the full 90 minutes. He was only named in the starting XI ten times.

Despite a rather mixed season, as many as five La Liga clubs are said to be interested in signing Silva. Transfer expert Rudy Galetti reports on X that Real Sociedad, Villarreal, Real Betis, Espanyol Barcelona and Celta de Vigo are all interested in the 23-year-old. The list is reportedly even longer. Other unnamed clubs are said to be monitoring the Dortmund striker’s situation very closely and are considering a move as early as this summer.
