Borussia Dortmund Close to Signing Fabio Silva in €25 Million Deal
Borussia Dortmund is on the verge of completing a major transfer, finalizing a deal worth approximately €25 million to acquire Portuguese striker Fábio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
According to a report from renowned journalist David Ornstein, the two clubs are closing in on an agreement. While the final structure of the deal, including bonuses, is still being discussed, the transfer is expected to be completed for a fee in the region of €25 million. The 23-year-old Portuguese international has already agreed to personal terms on a five-year contract with the German club.
The move represents a significant piece of business for both sides. For Dortmund, signing Silva is a key step in bolstering their attacking options as they pursue their ambitions in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. For Wolves, the substantial fee provides crucial funds to address their financial needs ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.
Silva’s time at Wolverhampton was marked by inconsistency, but the highly-regarded forward has shown his potential during successful loan spells at clubs such as PSV Eindhoven and Granada. A fresh start at the Signal Iduna Park offers him the opportunity to reignite his career with one of Europe’s most prominent clubs.
