Wolves agree deal to sell Portuguese striker
Fabio Silva is set to make his Wolves exit after a deal was agreed with Borussia Dortmund.
The two clubs have reached an agreement for a deal worth up to £23million and the striker is now travelling to Germany for his medical.
An initial fee of around £19.5million will be paid, with £3.5million in add-ons included.
Dortmund and Italian side Roma both previously had offers rejected by Wolves as they negotiated for the 23-year-old striker.
Wolves were originally asking for a package worth up to £26million and a compromise has now been found to allow the striker to depart.
It is believed that Silva will sign a five-year deal with Dortmund, with Wolves recouping a large chunk of the £35million they spent on Silva in 2020 to take him from Porto.
The Portuguese international spent time with Vitor Pereira's side on pre-season and travelled with the team to friendlies in the UK, as well as taking part in the training camp in Portugal.
He did not play for the club, however, as he worked his way back from an injury.
He has not played since getting back fit, with Wolves negotiating over his sale, which is now set to finally go through.
He will finish his Wolves career with five goals and six assists in 72 games.
Only four of those goals came in the Premier League, which were all in his debut season, meaning his last English top flight strike was in a 1-1 draw at Albion in May 2021.
A strike against Blackpool in the Carabao Cup in August 2023 will be his final Wolves goal.
