Overview

• Multiple outlets, crediting The Athletic’s reporting, say Dortmund and Wolves are close to agreement for a fee around €25 million, with no official announcement yet.
• Talks have narrowed to the payment structure and potential add-ons, and a five-year contract is expected if the move is completed.
• Wolves signed Silva from Porto in 2020 for about £35 million, and he departs with a modest return of five goals and six assists across roughly 72–75 appearances.
• The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Las Palmas, scoring 10 goals in 24 games as the club was relegated from La Liga.
• RB Leipzig and Roma were linked with interest, while some commentary questions the outlay given Dortmund’s reported budget limits and other squad needs.
