Borussia Dortmund identify Wolves forward Fabio Silva as ideal Serhou Guirassy back-up
As reported by BILD, Borussia Dortmund are interested in Wolves forward Fabio Silva this summer.
The Portuguese youth international is expected to depart the Premier League club following spells in the Netherlands, Belgium, Scotland, and, most recently, Spain with Las Palmas.

The 22-year-old striker scored 10 goals and assisted on three occasions in 24 appearances last season, but it wasn't enough for Las Palmas to avoid relegation from La Liga.
Silva's performances have attracted interested from various Spanish clubs and now also Dortmund.
BVB were too reliant on top striker Serhou Guirassy last season, as the 29-year-old scored more goals than anyone else in the rückrunde (second half of the season).
Dortmund see Silva as a potential back-up striker and additional competition for Maximilian Beier (22), who scored 8 goals in the Bundesliga last term.
According to TransferMarkt, Silva currently holds a transfer fee of around €25m.

It never quite worked out for Silva at Wolves, who joined at just 18 for €40m. However, the Portuguese forward now looks set to play Champions League football next season with the type of interest he's gathering.

Spain lose final despite Merino penalty & Zubimendi goal
Portugal won the UEFA Nations League on Sunday despite Arsenal's Mikel Merino converting a penalty for Spain and Gunners target Martin Zubimendi scoring early on. Photo byArsenal fans had quite a few players to keep an eye on in the Nations League final between Portugal and Spain on Sunday, but almost exclusively from the Spanish side of the field. Advertisement Mikel Merino and David Raya were both in the matchday squad, though neither started the game. Merino came on in the 75th minute, whilst Raya was an unused substitute. Martin Zubimendi has been heavily linked with Arsenal, and he was involved from the start, whilst another rumoured target in Nico Williams also started. Photo byZubimendi opened the scoring in the final, driving his team forwards before capitalising on a loose ball in the penalty area for 1-0. Portugal's Nuno Mendes equalised in the 26th minute, Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal retook the lead in the 45th, but Portugal bounced back again through Cristiano Ronaldo to level the game at 2-2 just after the hour mark. Advertisement After that, Merino was introduced, but the Arsenal 28-year-old couldn't break the deadlock in the remainder of normal time and extra time. The contest went to penalties. Photo byMerino stepped up first for Spain, converting with a confident spot-kick to send the goalkeeper the wrong way. But Portugal came out on top as Alvaro Morata was the only player to fail to convert.

Leeds bid €26 million for Strasbourg's Habib Diarra
According to a report from L'Équipe, Leeds United have sent an offer of €26 million to RC Strasbourg Alsace for club captain Habib Diarra (21). As L'Équipe have previously noted, unlike last summer, Strasbourg are no longer against losing the midfielder and would be willing to sell if a big enough offer lands at their door for a player who is under contract until 2028. Advertisement Aston Villa and Stade Rennais have both been previously linked, but it appears as if Leeds are the first club to enter concrete talks to try and secure the Senegalese international. Strasbourg are expected to wait and see how the market will respond to Leeds' offer. Leeds will be back in the Premier League after a two-year absence after they won the 2024/25 Championship. They had narrowly missed out on promotion the season before when they lost in the playoff final to Southampton FC. GFFN | Nick Hartland

Manchester City to propose improved bid for Lyon's Rayan Cherki
Manchester City are set to improve their offer to Olympique Lyonnais for Rayan Cherki (21), according to a report from Fabrizio Romano. It was reported by Sacha Tavolieri that Manchester City's opening offer was rejected by Lyon after it fell short of their €35-40 million valuation of the France international. Tavolieri wrote that Manchester City only offered €23 million. An improved bid was expected, with Cherki being the Premier League side's priority target as they look for a new playmaker. Advertisement Romano explains that talks between Lyon and Manchester City have restarted, with Cherki very keen to join the English club. It's been previously reported that Cherki has already agreed on personal terms with Manchester City and had spoken to Pep Guardiola about the project. Cherki recently became a France international for the first time, earning his debut and scoring against Spain in the Nations League semi-final defeat (5-4). He also made an appearance in the third-place playoff victory against Germany (2-0). GFFN | Nick Hartland
