When asking supporters about what should happen with Fabio Silva this summer, the responses are unsurprisingly mixed.
To say Silva has been a disappointment for Wolves since his £35 million transfer to Molineux would be an understatement.
The Portugal under-21 international has scored just five goals in 72 appearances for the Old Gold and failed under multiple managers, including Nuno Espirito Santo, Bruno Lage, Julen Lopetegui and Gary O’Neil.
Even loan spells at PSV, Rangers and Anderlecht couldn’t inspire the 22-year-old to his best form as he suffered from a lack of confidence and self belief.
However, since Silva joined Las Palmas on loan in the summer, the Portuguese centre-forward has found a new lease of life and is now attracting significant transfer interest.
Wolves must insert a sell-on clause in Fabio Silva’s contract
Only last week, Eintracht Frankfurt held talks with Silva over a possible move to the Bundesliga side, although he does have his heart set on moving back to Spain.
In January, it emerged that Atletico Madrid were interested in Silva while Celta Vigo were said to be confident of signing the striker.
It’s been an impressive campaign for the Wolves loanee so far as he’s witnessed his goalscoring powers explode into life.
The youngster has struck 10 goals in 24 La Liga appearances this term, outscoring the likes of Jude Bellingham and Antoine Griezmann.
But since Wolves supporters want Silva to depart amid interest from multiple clubs, it seems unlikely that he’ll get a shot at redemption under Vitor Pereira.
It means the Old Gold find themselves in a position where they should cash in on the attacker, and if they do, Pereira must ensure that a sell-on clause is inserted into any deal.
Although Wolves won’t recoup the £35 million they spent on him, a £20 million figure is reasonable, with a sell-on clause acting as security.

Silva wins La Liga U23 Player of the Month
Silva’s game seems perfectly suited to the speed and nature of Spain’s tempo, as the intensity is lower and there’s more time on the ball.
The 2002-born star has truly found his level, with Silva receiving a nomination for the U23 Player of the Month.
Now, it’s been revealed that the striker has won that award for April after scoring a brace against Getafe and assisting in a loss to Real Sociedad.
For the player, this is brilliant news, but Wolves will also be pleased as winning individual accolades will only drive up his price ahead of the summer.
