Bayern Munich Weighed Silva Option Prior to Borussia Dortmund Move

Bayern Munich considered Silva before Borussia Dortmund swoop

Bayern Munich’s Interest in Fabio Silva Before Dortmund Transfer

Bayern Munich initially considered pursuing Fabio Silva this summer prior to his transfer from Wolves to Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern’s Thoughts on Silva

According to the podcast “Bayern Insider” from Bild, the club evaluated the possibility of acquiring the Portuguese U21 forward.

No Formal Offer Made

Ultimately, a concrete proposal was never put forth. Silva transitioned from Wolves to Borussia Dortmund for a fee of €22.5 million just ahead of the transfer window closing.

Silva’s Recovery and Performance

The 23-year-old is gradually getting back to his best form following an injury setback. Coach Niko Kovac has predominantly deployed the forward in the dying moments of matches; however, he received a notable 30 minutes of play against FC Copenhagen (4-2).

Silva rewarded the coach’s trust by scoring a goal in that match against the Danish side.
