Several clubs showed interest in Wolves forward Fábio Silva during the summer transfer window, but his move ultimately took a different direction.

The 23-year-old joined Wolves from FC Porto back in 2020 with a hefty price tag and big expectations. However, he never truly lived up to the hype. Even at the time of the transfer, many questioned whether he had proven enough to justify such a fee. His struggles in England led to a series of loan spells with Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven, Rangers, and most recently Las Palmas.

This past summer was seen as the right time for a permanent exit, and at one point RB Leipzig appeared close to securing his signature. According to Bild, Leipzig eventually pulled out, weighing Silva against another target: Romulo of Turkish side Göztepe. The German club chose Romulo instead, largely due to the lower cost and the belief that the Brazilian offered more overall quality.

It seems to have been the right call. Romulo has hit the ground running with Leipzig, registering two goals and an assist in his first five outings. Meanwhile, Silva ended up at Borussia Dortmund but arrived carrying an injury, leaving the club frustrated. So far, the Portuguese striker has managed just six minutes of playing time across two brief substitute appearances.
