Nine Clubs have Joined the Race to Sign 10-Goal Wolves Striker – Report | OneFootball

Fabio Silva’s Imminent Wolves Exit Signals Ambition, Not Retreat

Wolves are wasting no time in shaping their summer window, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that Fabio Silva will not be part of Vitor Pereira’s long-term vision at Molineux. As reported by TEAMtalk, Silva’s stock has risen following a productive loan spell at Las Palmas, where the Portuguese striker has netted 10 goals in 24 La Liga appearances. His performances have not gone unnoticed—no fewer than nine clubs across Europe have now registered interest.

This includes Sevilla, Wolfsburg, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, and Atletico Madrid, who were initially linked, as well as new entrants Lens, Lyon, Valencia, and Celta Vigo. According to TEAMtalk, “these clubs are all seriously interested in signing him after his strong season with Las Palmas.” It seems Wolves are now “absolutely confident they can reach their target price”, reportedly in the range of €20-25 million (£17-21.3m).

Timing Matters: Wolves Plan Early Exit Strategy

In what appears to be a shrewd piece of business planning, Wolves are hoping to finalise Silva’s sale early in the transfer window, ensuring both the club and the player can move on cleanly. TEAMtalk notes that “a decisive move for Silva will arrive soon”, underlining the urgency and clarity of Wolves’ stance.

Silva himself is “eager to start a new chapter in his career”, suggesting there’s no appetite for a return to the West Midlands despite being on the books since his big-money move from Porto in 2020. His Wolves journey, which began with high hopes, has been punctuated by loan spells at Anderlecht and PSV Eindhoven before this season’s breakout in Spain.

Wolves’ Forward Line in Flux

Silva is not the only striker linked with a move away from Molineux. Matheus Cunha, arguably Wolves’ most dynamic attacker, is also being touted for a summer exit. A move to Manchester United is being speculated on social media, with TEAMtalk pointing to the striker’s father ‘liking’ a post that hinted at an Old Trafford switch.

This would mark a significant shift in attacking personnel—one that could hint at a broader rebuild under newly appointed manager Vitor Pereira, who may prefer to reframe the attack around players better suited to his tactical blueprint.

Why This Exit Makes Sense for All Parties

From a business and sporting standpoint, Wolves’ willingness to cash in on Silva makes sense. Despite his potential, he has never quite settled in the Premier League, and with nine clubs chasing him, the opportunity to sell high is not one to be ignored. His development has accelerated outside of England, and now is arguably the best time to let him continue that trajectory elsewhere.

What’s more, Wolves are reportedly in contact with Galatasaray over Gabriel Sara, the former Norwich City playmaker now shining in Turkey. With interest also coming from Manchester City and Nottingham Forest, Wolves will need to act quickly if they wish to bolster their midfield with creativity ahead of next season.

From a Wolves supporter’s perspective, this all feels like a mix of progress and pain. Seeing Fabio Silva move on is bittersweet. He came in as the club’s record signing—a teenage prodigy burdened with expectation. But as the years passed and the goals didn’t flow in the Premier League, it became obvious that his development was going to require a change of scene. His ten goals in La Liga prove he has something. Just maybe not what Wolves need right now.

Selling him now, when his value is rising again, is smart business. Getting £17-21 million back would be a decent recovery of investment, especially with the money likely going into strengthening under Pereira. There’s a strong sense that Vitor wants to start fresh and shape a team in his own image, and that might mean even Matheus Cunha being sacrificed. If he goes to United, fair play—but Wolves fans will expect the club to replace him with a striker who can hit the ground running.

The Sara link is intriguing. He was excellent at Norwich and has added polish in Turkey. If he arrives alongside a competent No. 9, then the pain of watching Silva and Cunha walk out the door might be softened quickly.

At least this time, there’s a clear plan. That hasn’t always been the case in previous windows.
