WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Sky Sport, Dortmund have wrapped up a deal to sign Silva from Wolves for €22.5 million (£19m/$25m) plus €4m in add-ons, taking the total package close to €27m (£23m/$29m). The Portuguese striker has agreed personal terms and will undergo his medical on Thursday, with Dortmund pushing to have him available for their Bundesliga clash with Union Berlin on Sunday.

Silva bid farewell to his Wolves team-mates after their Carabao Cup win over West Ham on Tuesday night, having not been included in the squad. Roma and AC Milan had also shown interest, but Dortmund moved quickly to close the transfer. The Black and Yellows have been busy strengthening their attack this summer, with Silva’s arrival coming after the additions of Chelsea pair Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino, Manchester City full-back Yan Couto and Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland.
TELL ME MORE...
The 23-year-old, who cost Wolves a record €40m (£34m/$44m) when he signed from Porto in 2020, has struggled to make an impact in England. However, he rebuilt his confidence during loan spells at Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers and, most recently, Las Palmas, where he scored 10 goals last season. Silva brings both potential and European experience to Dortmund. He has made 72 appearances for Wolves, scoring five goals and providing six assists, but has shown flashes of quality in his loan stints. The forward has also represented Portugal at youth level and made one senior appearance for the national team.

Silva is due in Germany on Thursday to complete his medical and final paperwork. If all goes smoothly, he will be registered in time for Dortmund’s Bundesliga fixture against Union Berlin at the weekend.
