‘Something truly special’: BVB sign top striker Silva | OneFootball

Before the end of the transfer window, Borussia Dortmund secures Fabio Silva from the Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 23-year-old Portuguese signs a contract until 2030 and is expected to strengthen BVB's offense.

Borussia Dortmund has further strengthened its offense just before the end of the transfer window by signing Fabio Silva from the Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Portuguese signs a contract with BVB until 2030 and will in future wear the number 21. For the 23-year-old, Dortmund reportedly transfers 22.5 million euros to the Wolves, with an additional four million euros potentially being paid in performance-related bonuses.

Silva comes after a series of loans to various clubs, including RSC Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven, Glasgow Rangers, and UD Las Palmas. Last season, the striker scored ten goals and assisted three more in La Liga, even though his team was relegated.

Sporting Director Lars Ricken stated: “Our goal was to broaden the team's options in the forward center during the current transfer period, to be as unpredictable as possible and best prepared for all situations in three competitions. We needed a lot of patience to implement our ideas and are now pleased to have signed Fabio Silva, a player with great potential.”

Transfer coup perfect: Silva signs until 2030 with BVB

Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl also commented on the new addition: “Fabio Silva was considered an exceptional talent at a very young age, has gained important experiences in recent seasons, has matured both as a footballer and as a person, and is still a young, developable player. Fabio brings a lot of quality: goal threat, game intensity, pace, and he can be used flexibly in several positions.”

Silva himself was thrilled about his transfer: “Signing for a club like Borussia Dortmund is something very special for me. This club has a tremendous appeal, not only in Germany but throughout Europe. I know BVB as a passionate club with incredible fans. Now being part of it fills me with pride and great anticipation. I want to settle in quickly, give my all and contribute to us being successful as a team.”
