‘Total Verbal Agreement in Place’ for Wolves Attacker to Depart

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly secured a verbal agreement with Fábio Silva on a long-term contract, setting the stage for a potential summer switch. Now all eyes are on negotiations between Wolves and Dortmund to turn the verbal agreement into reality.

Fábio Silva’s Future Hinges On Transfer Fee

Personal Terms In Place

Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg has revealed that “wantaway” Wolves striker Silva and Dortmund have agreed on personal terms: a contract running until 2030 is ready, all finalised on the player’s side. Plettenberg describes it as a “total verbal agreement in place.” The German giants have been trying to get this deal finalised for weeks, as reported by the Express & Star, with Dortmund offering £17 million but Wolves pushing for at least £20 million. With Silva open to the move, he will hope that the German side can match Wolves’ valuation.

Club To Club Negotiations Ongoing

With personal terms ironed out, the real challenge now lies with the two clubs. Dortmund have reportedly already seen three bids rejected by the Molineux club as they increased their asking price to £26 million with add-ons. Wolves technical director Domenico Teti reportedly refused to sit down and negotiate with Dortmund. With the clubs currently at a stalemate, Wolves are trying to recoup as much of the £35 million they paid for the player. Silva is poised for a medical if negotiations are completed.

Silva’s agreement with Borussia Dortmund signals his intent to take the next step in his career, but the transfer ultimately hinges on Wolves and Dortmund finding common ground over the transfer fee. If an agreement is reached in the coming days, Dortmund could secure one of Europe’s promising young forwards on a long-term deal, finally bringing the saga to a conclusion.
