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.

Man City signs Reijnders from AC Milan to complete $150M spending spree
Manchester City concluded a $150 million spending spree ahead of the Club World Cup by announcing the signing of Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on Wednesday. The 26-year-old Reijnders moved for an initial fee of 55 million euros ($63 million) and is the second midfielder — after France playmaker Rayan Cherki — to join City in the special June 1-10 transfer window created to allow sides in the 32-team Club World Cup to reshape their squads. City paid Lyon $41 million for Cherki and also signed Algeria left back Rayan Aït-Nouri from Wolverhampton for $42 million. After deciding not to push to sign Florian Wirtz — the Germany playmaker is close to joining Liverpool, according to reports in the British media — City has spent around the same amount on three players. Add this latest splurge to an outlay of more than $200 million in the winter transfer window and City has already spent at least $350 million on players in 2025 to provide manager Pep Guardiola with a squad capable of reclaiming the Premier League title from Liverpool. Breakthrough season Reijnders has just been named as the best midfielder in Serie A after a breakthrough campaign in which he scored 15 goals and added five assists across all competitions for Milan, which endured a dismal season and failed to qualify for Europe. He joined Milan from AZ Alkmaar in 2023 for a fee of around 20 million euros (then $22.4 million) and recently signed a contract extension through to June 2030. That's the length of his contract at City, too. City is releasing De Bruyne to end his 10-year stint at the club and now has Reijnders and Cherki to link up with Rodri in an enticing midfield set-up. Reijnders said he was 'ecstatic' to be joining City. 'It is also a dream come true to play in the Premier League,' he said. 'This league has seen many of the best Dutch players perform through the years and it's an inspiration to follow in their footsteps.' City director of football Hugo Viana said Reijnders — who specializes in being a ball-carrying midfielder — will add 'extra energy, composure and creativity to our midfield.' City announced the transfer of Reijnders a day after the special transfer window closed but appears to have signed him in time for him to play in the new-look, 32-team Club World Cup, which starts on Saturday. City is in the same group as Juventus, Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca and its first match is on June 18. ___ AP soccer:
