The whispers around Fábio Silva’s next move are finally turning into shouts. It appears the talented young striker is packing his bags for Germany. Wolverhampton and Borussia Dortmund have shaken hands on a deal that will send Silva to the Bundesliga. This comes after his loan spell last season with Spanish side Las Palmas.
Sources close to Record indicate that the English club will receive a solid 22.5 million euros for the transfer. On top of that, there’s another 4 million euros in the mix, depending on how well certain performance goals are met. This means the total package could reach 26.5 million euros. It’s a significant figure for a player still finding his top form.
Now, before we call it completely official, there’s one last hurdle. The forward himself still needs to put pen to paper on his personal terms. But don’t expect a long wait. Silva already shared a heartfelt farewell with his Wolves teammates. That goodbye happened right after their match yesterday against West Ham. It certainly sounds like he has one foot out the door and is ready for his new adventure in German football.
