La Liga
The green-and-white team has shown interest in the loan of Fábio Silva, a 24-year-old Portuguese forward who belongs to Borussia Dortmund, in this final stretch of the Real Betis transfer market. The Betis club has already made moves to understand the conditions of an operation for a player for whom the German team paid €22.5 million in 2025.
Betis is considering a loan, preferably with a purchase option that is affordable for its finances. Members of the Seville entity have traveled to Germany in recent days to directly discuss the situation with Dortmund, although there is still no closed agreement between the parties.
Real Betis seeks a loan for Fábio Silva
The name of Fábio Silva reappears among the Real Betis transfers after the club had previously inquired about his situation. The priority now is to find a forward before the market closes, and the Portuguese player is one of the options considered by the sports management team.
Silva arrived at Borussia Dortmund from Wolverhampton in August 2025. The transfer was completed for an initial amount of €22.5 million, and his contract with the German club extends until June 30, 2030.
His first season in Germany ended with 3 goals and 7 assists in 39 matches across all competitions. In the Bundesliga, he recorded 2 goals and 6 assists in 805 minutes, numbers that explain why the forward is now looking for a destination where he can have more playing time.

Fábio Silva is already familiar with LaLiga and will face competition
Real Betis also values his previous experience in Spain. Fábio Silva was on loan at UD Las Palmas during the 2024/25 season, where he scored 10 goals in 24 LaLiga matches before returning to Wolverhampton and later being transferred to Dortmund.
The main challenge lies in the competition. Real Sociedad has also shown interest in Silva and is in talks to try to sign him, while Villarreal and Deportivo have also inquired about his situation during this market.
Borussia Dortmund must now decide on the conditions to allow his departure just a year after investing €22.5 million in his signing. The duration of his contract until 2030 gives the German club room to demand financial guarantees in any loan deal.
The next step for Real Betis will be to finalize the financial structure of the operation and overcome the competition from Real Sociedad. As the market enters its decisive phase, Silva's loan remains among the options available to strengthen Betis' attack.
