Wolves striker Fabio Silva is reportedly wanted by Dutch giants Ajax.
Eindhovens Dagblad have reported that the 20-year-old has caught the eye of the 36-time Eredivisie champions.
Silva enjoyed a productive 2022/23 season, playing for both Anderlecht and then PSV Eindhoven.
He made 51 appearances across his two stints, and scored a respectable 16 goals.
Wolves officials had sent Silva out on loan in the hope that he would get regular minutes under his belt. He has certainly got that.
Silva’s future has been the subject of intrigue recently.
Obviously, Wolves have again struggled on the goalscoring front and that will need to be addressed this summer.
Some have wondered if Silva could be an option to lead the line regularly next season.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs suggested earlier this year that Julen Lopetegui wanted him back for pre-season to take a look at him.
But Silva has not been shy about saying he’s happy at PSV.
He would happily stay where he is to develop his game further. But him staying at PSV might be unlikely now, with Ruud van Nistelrooy having surprisingly left the club last week.
Wolves may well see what Ajax have to say about Silva.
Wanderers now have FFP concerns. So if Ajax want to make a permanent transfer offer, the club may listen.
Wolves need to quickly establish whether Silva can be a first-team option, as Ajax register interest
So Ajax like Silva, which is not too much of a surprise given he’s made an impression in the Eredivisie with PSV in 2023.
It will be very interesting to see what happens with Silva this summer.
He’s clearly developed his game a lot this term, to the point where could potentially now be an option for Wolves. But that will be for Lopetegui to determine.
Given the FFP concerns though, maybe Wolves will see about selling Silva.
But the board may not want to do that because of how much he cost to sign in 2020 (£35.6 million). Selling him this summer would surely see the club make a loss on him.
It might just be that Wolves are willing to take a hit on him.
