Transfers: Wolves to sell Silva but keep Strand Larsen

Updated / Wednesday, 27 Aug 2025 16:10

**Fabio Silva** is poised to complete a move from Wolves to **Borussia Dortmund**.

An agreement has been reached on a transfer fee between the clubs for the 23-year-old Portuguese, and it is understood Wolves have given the player permission to travel to Germany in order to undergo a medical.

Silva began his career with Porto but joined Wolves in September 2020.

He has since had spells on loan at Belgian side Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Rangers and Spanish side Las Palmas.

He won his first senior cap for Portugal last November in a Nations League match against Croatia.

The club are understood to have rejected a £55million (€64m) bid for Norwegian forward **Jorgen Strand Larsen** from **Newcastle**.

Newcastle have rejected an offer of £110m (€128m) for Isak from Liverpool and are believed to want a British record £150m (€174m) but in the meantime are working to recruit new attacking players.

It is understood Wolves do not see Strand Larsen as being for sale at any price, so the Magpies may need to look elsewhere in their striker search. They have also been heavily linked with Brentford's Yoane Wissa.

Isak is training alone at Newcastle, having indicated his desire to leave the club despite having three years left on his contract.

However, he is set to feature for Sweden next month after being selected in the squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo on 5 and 8 September.

Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson said: "I am very happy that Alexander Isak wants to be in the squad, he is a huge player.

"The situation he is in is not perfect and he has not trained with the team. But he is a player who can decide matches and he wants to be part of our squad. The World Cup is important for Alexander Isak."
