Wolverhampton Wanderers are nearing a major transfer decision, with striker F\u00e1bio Silva edging closer to a permanent move to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. As reported by the Express & Star’s Liam Keen<\/a>, negotiations are progressing well and are expected to ramp up in the coming days. The 23-year-old forward, who has endured a stop-start career at Molineux, could now be set for a fresh chapter in Germany.<\/p>\n

Wolves In Talks With Dortmund Over F\u00e1bio Silva Sale<\/h2>\n

Wolves Looking To Cash In With Dortmund Looming<\/h3>\n

Signed for a then club record fee of \u00a335 million from Porto in 2020, Silva arrived in the West Midlands with high expectations, with Portuguese reporter Andr\u00e8 Monteiro<\/a> telling Wolves at the time his potential was like that of Cristiano Ronaldo and the striker he thought he was most like was Bobby Firmino. After finding the net just 4 times in 62 league appearances and several loan spells at Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers, and most recently Las Palmas, the striker’s time at Wolves looks set to come to an end. A permanent move would not only offer Silva a much-needed fresh start but also provide Wolves with vital funds to reinvest into the squad under head coach V\u00edtor Pereira.<\/p>\n
