After a few weeks of relative silence in the transfer market, things are starting to happen again at Wolves.
Last weekend, the club sold Pedro Neto to Chelsea for a club-record fee, with the transfer being completed very quickly in the end.
News only broke of the talks between the two clubs on Friday and by Sunday, the winger was confirmed as a new Chelsea player.
Then yesterday, Wolves announced the departure of Hugo Bueno, who has joined Feyenoord only loan for the new season and will play in the Champions League.
So with those two and Max Kilman, Wolves have now offloaded three players this summer.
And it could soon be four, with one club now taking steps to sign Fabio Silva.
Genoa make bid for Fabio Silva as Wolves seek to sanction fourth player exit
It is very much expected that Fabio Silva will leave Wolves this summer. It just depends on what kind of basis.
Gary O’Neil admitted out Miami that Silva was probably going to be moving on.
The player has also been vocal about not staying, and he has played no part in pre-season while looking for a new club.
His agent has talked up potential moves to Spain or Italy next for the Portuguese striker. And one Serie A club has indeed now come forward.
Fabrizio Romano reported on X last night: “Genoa sent official bid to Wolves for Fábio Silva.
“Loan with buy option clause proposal submitted today with an answer expected this week. Silva, keen on trying on Serie A new chapter.”
Previously, it had been reported that Silva had interest from Valencia, Las Palmas and Wolfsburg.
Silva sale would be more ideal
So Genoa have apparently submitted a loan proposal, with an option to buy. This is probably not the most ideal offer for Wolves.
Silva clearly no longer wants to be at Wolves and is ready for a new chapter. The player is not in O’Neil’s plans.
So a sale would be the best thing, especially after the £80,000-a-week man did not show enough during his latest loan move to Rangers.
Wolves might be best served to wait to see what other bids come in, with interest in the player relatively high. It could be that some permanent offers are made.
If Wolves are going to entertain Genoa here, then perhaps the club should try to negotiate a clause that would see the Italians become obligated to buy Silva once a certain amount of appearances are made, a bit like the deal Wolves have with Jorgen Strand Larsen.
