Fábio Silva Transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers to RB Leipzig
Marca reports on the transfer of Fabio Silva to Borussia Dortmund, highlighting the competition from RB Leipzig. Fabio Silva was also contested by RB Leipzig, but Borussia Dortmund's sporting project was decisive.
RB Leipzig was interested in signing Fábio Silva and had reached an agreement with the player. However, they withdrew from the transfer due to Wolverhampton Wanderers' transfer fee demand of up to 30 million euros.
RB Leipzig is searching for a new striker following Benjamin Sesko's departure to Manchester United. Fabio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers has caught their attention. According to 'Sky', RB Leipzig has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Silva. A transfer fee between 25 to 30 million Euros is being discussed, although it is considered too high by Leipzig.
RB Leipzig has shown interest in acquiring Fabio Silva, particularly if Benjamin Sesko moves to Newcastle. This interest depends on whether Newcastle decides to sell Alexander Isak. The 23-year-old Portuguese centre-forward, who made a significant impact during his loan at UD Las Palmas, has returned to Wolverhampton, his parent club. His contract with Wolves is valid until June 30, 2026, and his current market value is estimated at €20.00m, as reported by Transfermarkt. Silva's impressive performances in La Liga have attracted several clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt, which is keen on signing him as a replacement for Hugo Ekitike, who was recently transferred to Liverpool. At the same time, RB Leipzig's interest in Silva is linked to Newcastle's potential signing of Benjamin Sesko, a move that would be possible if Newcastle sells Alexander Isak.
