Wolves fans are all in agreement on what should happen with Fabio Silva as fresh links emerge

Vitor Pereira could be conducting a transformative summer at Wolves, seeing several players depart but quality added to the squad.

The first player nailed on to leave the club is centre-forward Matheus Cunha, who is wanted by big clubs, with Wolves fans accepting that his £62.5 million release clause will be triggered.

Rayan Ait-Nouri, who is on the transfer radar of Liverpool, could also exit the club, although supporters are hopeful the Algerian will remain in Wolverhampton.

It isn’t players currently starring at Molineux who are being linked with moves away, as Fabio Silva looks to be heading out of England this summer.

Silva is currently starring on loan at Las Palmas, with a successful loan spell proving to be the catalyst for interest in his signature.

Wolves fans want Fabio Silva to exit Molineux

It’s hard to find a deal worse than the £35 million Wolves paid to sign Silva in 2020, as the Portuguese international severely flopped.

The 22-year-old returned just five goals in 72 appearances, resulting in numerous failed loan spells before finally finding his feet at Las Palmas.

While there have been talks of the forward working under Vitor Pereira this summer, strong links from other clubs suggest he’s on his way out, with Eintracht Frankfurt the latest to show an interest in Silva.

Unsurprisingly, transfer speculation surrounding his future sparked a conversation among Wolves fans, and they mostly agree that he should be sold.

“Cash in while we can, we have no choice now as forget another contract extension as he will not sign it. Could be another Vitinha but he is clearly not suited to Premier League football,” one fan posted.

“Yep his sticks as high as its been for ages just take the money and run,” another agreed while a third commented: “Take him.”

Some supporters even suggested inserting a sell-on clause into any deal, as they’re worried Silva could explode elsewhere and become a top striker.

“Get a sell-on clause in there somewhere. If anyone can sell a striker for boatloads it is Frankfurt,” a fifth said while another referenced the sales they’ve made over the years: “Marmoush €75m Muani €95m Andre Silva €23m Jovic €63 Haller €50m. All strikers sold in the last 5 years. They sign strikers for peanuts and sell them for mega money. Watch them turn Fabio Silva into a €50m player within a year.”

Silva has struck double figures for Las Palmas

It would be something sensational if Silva returned to Wolves this summer and became the striker everyone thought they had signed years ago.

Realistically, the chances of Pereira getting to work with the centre-forward are slim, as Silva wants to leave Wolves and it looks like he’ll have the pick of the clubs.

Supporters are just hoping they can recoup most of the £35m they paid five years ago, which would be any silver lining in the transfer.

He’s certainly proven he’s worth at least £20 million as Silva hit double figures for Las Palmas with a brace against Getafe at the weekend.

The Portuguese star now has outscored the likes of Jude Bellingham, Antoine Griezmann and Ferran Torres in La Liga while trailing Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior by one, evincing why he’s hot property in Europe.
