BVB’s Fábio Silva Defends Farewell Post After Near-Identical Message From Uche

He posted a dated WhatsApp screenshot to claim he wrote the text on 22 August.

Overview

  • German outlets reported that Silva’s Wolves farewell and Uche’s Getafe message were nearly word‑for‑word identical with only the club names changed.
  • Silva said he drafted the statement himself on 22 August and published a WhatsApp chat with his adviser as supporting evidence.
  • The matching texts drew viral comparisons on social media, with many users alleging Uche copied Silva’s wording.
  • Silva completed a move from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Borussia Dortmund for about €22.5 million late in August.
  • The forward is currently out with a muscle injury, which has delayed any potential debut for Dortmund.
