Beginning of September 2020 and Wolves decides to break its then transfer record, spending 40 million euros to get another Portuguese. His name, Fabio Silvaone of the most talented footballers at that time, only 18 years old.
Except that the sequel was not similar. After a difficult two years, with just seven goals in 65 appearances came successive loans to Anderlecht, Eindhoven and Rangers, where the young forward did not fare badly.
But even if his contract with the “wolves” ends in two years, Silva does not wish to continue to them. And speaking to Sport Bible, he explained why…
As he said, recalling the summer of 2020, “I had training in Porto in the morning, then I was having dinner with my family and my agent took me to tell me that the next day we were going to England.
I was pushed to Wolves, I had no choice. Maybe other teams were better for me. A league with more patience and time.
They told me that if I didn’t go to Wolves, I wouldn’t play in Porto’s first team. I was only 18 when they decided to give 40 million euros for me. Porto were not in good financial shape but my opinion didn’t count. They picked me up, told me I was flying the next day and that was it.
Wolves wasn’t the best choice for me then. I needed to be with my family, to play more in my hometown. I went to the best league in the world and the pressure was great.
I remember standing and I was thinking that I’m not ready for here. I want more time. Nothing was in my control.
These days I try to relax with my family and friends but then I want to try to find another team. I don’t know if it will be a transfer or another loan, but in the team everyone knows my thoughts.”
Fabio Silva:
“I was almost forced to leave Porto. They told me that if I didn’t go, I’d play for the B team and I wouldn’t help the club as their finances were in bad shape. There was no escape.
I knew it wasn’t the time and I had no intention of going to Wolves at the time.” pic.twitter.com/bd5jLmswtM
