“One of best teams in world” – Wolves player clearly excited by transfer claims
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Fábio Silva claims he isn’t thinking about his future beyond this season.
Wolves let the striker join UD Las Palmas on loan last summer and he starred this season, managing 10 goals and three assists from 23 league games.
The La Liga club host Atlético Madrid on Saturday and ahead of this tie, the 22-year-old spoke to the Spanish media, with AS relaying his comments.
Silva’s performances for Las Palmas have seen him attract interest from Spain and across Europe.
The Portugal international’s contract at Molineux expires in 2026 but wants to leave the Premier League club in the summer window. Estadio Deportivo reported this at the start of this month and also stated Atlético Madrid, Villarreal and Sevilla are looking at him.
Earlier today, the Wolves owned player was directly asked about the Atlético links and he said: “It’s not the most important thing right now, just how I can help in the games and the work I can give to the team.
“Outside of football, I’ve already had that experience; I don’t try to focus too much on the future and enjoy the present.
“I know that if I continue doing things well like I have been, good things will come, but I want to finish the season well and leave Las Palmas in the first division to bring joy to the fans.”
“Atlético Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, but right now I’m only focused on the goal of saving Las Palmas, and the future will be revealed.”
As it stands, Silva will return Wolves after his loan spell but now leaves the door open for a future move to Las Palmas.
“Of course, I would like to wear the yellow jersey again one day. I always say that the fans have treated me very well and I’ve felt very comfortable,” Silva explained.
“Sometimes, jokingly, [Las Palmas director] Luis Helguera and [president] Miguel Ángel Ramírez have told me that I’ll return, and I hope to return in the future.
“It’s a club that has touched me deeply and has given me the joy of feeling important and happy again. Therefore, I will try to give my best in the remaining seven matches.”
Earlier today, Sky Deutschland reported Silva is a very interesting option for Eintracht Frankfurt and they have held initial talks with the Wolves player’s entourage.
