Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing for a busy summer of change under Vitor Pereira, with several players expected to move on and fresh faces likely arriving to reshape the squad. But one potential departure has already gained near-unanimous support among the fanbase—Fabio Silva.
The 22-year-old striker, who cost Wolves a hefty £35 million in 2020, has never lived up to expectations at Molineux. With just five goals in 72 appearances, Silva has endured a series of underwhelming loan spells. However, his recent resurgence at Las Palmas has revived interest in his services—and Wolves supporters are more than ready to see him go.
While the club faces the likely departure of Matheus Cunha, whose £62.5 million release clause is attracting elite suitors, and interest continues to swirl around Rayan Ait-Nouri, Silva’s name now tops the list of those fans would willingly offload.
Currently on loan in La Liga, Silva has finally found some form, notching 10 goals—including a recent brace against Getafe—and outperforming high-profile names like Jude Bellingham and Antoine Griezmann. His resurgence has drawn attention from several clubs across Europe, with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly among the frontrunners.
Despite his current form, Wolves fans seem to agree: this is the moment to cash in. Many believe Silva’s game simply doesn’t suit the Premier League and see this summer as the last real opportunity to recover part of the club’s initial investment.
“Take the money and run,” one fan commented online, echoing the sentiments of many. Another supporter noted, “We have no choice now… forget another contract extension, he’s not signing it.”
Some fans, though, urged Wolves to act strategically—suggesting a sell-on clause should be included in any deal, fearing Silva could thrive elsewhere. Frankfurt’s track record of developing and flipping strikers for big profits has not gone unnoticed by the Wolves faithful.
“They’ll turn him into a €50m striker within a year,” one fan warned, pointing to Frankfurt’s successful sales of Randal Kolo Muani, Luka Jovic, and Sébastien Haller.
While some wonder if Silva could return and finally become the player Wolves thought they had signed, the general consensus is that a fresh start is best for both parties. With interest mounting and his stock rising, Wolves may finally be able to write a new chapter—one where Silva departs with a respectable transfer fee rather than as a costly flop.
