Fabio Silva continues to dominate the Wolves transfer news.
It is a surprise to many that he remains a Wolves player at this point.
The striker had a successful spell on loan at Las Palmas last season and the feeling was that he’d be one of the first players out the door this summer.
But he still hasn’t been sold, and it’s clear that Wolves are seeking to sell for the highest possible price.
Earlier today, it was claimed that Borussia Dortmund had failed with a third bid for Silva, and apparently, director of professional football Domenico Teti is digging his heels in over the player.
And now it’s been shared how much that latest bid for Fabio Silva was actually worth.
Borussia Dortmund’s third bid for Fabio Silva revealed
Wolves and Fabio Silva have reportedly been adamant about a permanent exit this summer.
It will likely happen, at long last, and it is just a case of where he ends up.
At the moment, it seems Dortmund are making the strongest push, having even offered Silva a contract.
But there remains no agreement with Wolves, and journalist Liam Keen has now shared how much this latest offer from Dortmund was worth.
He said in the E&S that the German side offered ‘in excess of £17 million’, but Wolves are thought to be holding out for £21.5 million plus add-ons in total.
It has also been claimed elsewhere today that Wolves valued Silva at £26 million.
Keen adds that Wolves are not budging in their valuation of the player, and are now expecting Dortmund to come back with a new offer.
It’s stated there is a desire on all sides to get a deal agreed.
Wolves seemingly fear future Fabio Silva rise
The notion of Silva sticking around has been floated by some fans, with the new season about to kick off.
While there would potentially be a chance of him doing well under Vitor Pereira, the fact of the matter is that Silva is ready to leave and has been so for a while now.
Silva famously admitted he never even really wanted a move to Wolves in the first place, and has been open about his struggles at Wolves.
Despite that, he has conducted himself well to his credit.
It was just a move that should never have happened in the first place, as it simply came far too early for him.
He perhaps hasn’t taken his chances when they’ve come, but the management of him has also not been particularly good.
It’s a great shame how it worked out, and it would probably be no surprise if the went and thrived another club.
Clearly, Wolves feel there’s a chance that could happen by refusing to let him go on the cheap.
