Fabio Silva is looking towards Spain again, and his name is already making waves in various directions. The Portuguese forward, 23 years old, does not want to continue as a Borussia Dortmund player after a season with less prominence than expected, and several Spanish clubs have started to position themselves around an operation that could mark the summer.

The striker landed in Dortmund in 2025 from Wolverhampton for a figure close to 22 million euros, following a successful loan spell at UD Las Palmas. There, he made an impact with goals, mobility, and a clear feeling: in Spain, he found a more suitable stage to showcase his abilities.

Fabio Silva seeks a way out of Borussia Dortmund

Fabio Silva's situation at Borussia Dortmund has not progressed as he had hoped. His contract runs until 2030, but the player wants to play more and feel important. In the last season, he accumulated 1,189 minutes in 39 matches, scoring 3 goals and 7 assists, mostly coming off the bench or as a rotation option.

This context explains why the Portuguese is willing to consider offers, although he does not wish to fall into an endless cycle of loans again. Since leaving FC Porto for England for 40 million, his career has taken him through Wolves, Anderlecht, PSV, Rangers, Las Palmas, and now Germany. Talent is not lacking, but continuity is.

The German club does not rule out an exit if a satisfactory solution is presented. The forward's market value is around 22 million euros, a figure affordable for few Spanish teams, so a loan with an option to buy or a structured operation could gain momentum in the coming weeks.

Real Sociedad and Celta de Vigo join the fight

Real Sociedad emerges as one of the most interested clubs in Fabio Silva. The Basque team needs to strengthen its attack to compete reliably in Europe and sees in the Portuguese a different profile: mobile, young, with international experience, and still with room to grow in a more stable environment.

Celta de Vigo is also monitoring the situation, although their financial margin may influence any moves. For the Galician side, a loan would be a more realistic option than a direct transfer, especially if the market goal is to maintain the squad and add specific pieces without disrupting the wage balance.

A broad list in Spain

The interest does not end there. Real Betis, Villarreal, and Espanyol have also been linked to the striker. In Betis' case, his name has been well-liked for months, although the sports management is considering other number nine profiles. Villarreal, on the other hand, offers European exposure and an offensive approach that may be enticing.

His previous experience in LaLiga works in favor of the Portuguese. Although he only had one season in Spain, his time at Las Palmas left a positive impression and keeps his name relevant in boardrooms. For several clubs, he is not an unknown gamble but a player who has already demonstrated adaptation to the league's pace.

The summer will determine whether the German club agrees to facilitate his departure or demands a stronger operation. What is clear is that Fabio Silva is back at the center of attention. Real Sociedad, Celta de Vigo, and other LaLiga clubs are already eyeing an opportunity that could grow if the forward pushes to leave.
