Fabio Silva breaks silence on accusations about his farewell Wolves message

Wolves striker Fabio Silva took some heat for his farewell message to Wolves fans, and now he has responded.

Borussia Dortmund completed a £23 million move for Silva last week, after a summer of speculation as to where the Portuguese striker would end up.

After confirmation of the deal emerged, Silva took to Instagram with a heartfelt message for Wolves fans.

The controversy arose when, on Tuesday, Wolves target Christantus Uche sent his own message to Getafe fans after sealing a move to Crystal Palace.

The two were exactly the same. Word-for-word.

Silva clearly wasn’t happy about the comments being made about his caption.

He took to Instagram once again to clear things up.

It appears Silva has proof that he wrote the message himself, which draws Uche further into question.

It’s unlikely he’ll speak out about it if what the former Wolves striker says is true. Either way, a strange situation indeed.

Fans still have questions over this Fabio Silva Christantus Uche farewell situation

Silva’s story is his way of telling Wolves fans his words were genuine.

If that’s true, the decision by Uche, or more likely his press team, is baffling.

Not only because it stinks of insincerity, but also because of how close he came to a Wolves move himself.

Some fans aren’t convinced, citing AI and sharing press teams as more plausible explanations.

Nice to get some Wolves-themed drama today though, after Monday’s silent suffering.
