Borussia Dortmund push to finalize deal for top transfer target

Borussia Dortmund have identified Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Fábio Silva as their top transfer target, according to Bild. 

The German tabloid reports that the Black and Yellows are keen to “get the deal done as soon as possible.”

Dortmund will have to fend off strong competition for the 23-year-old Portuguese striker, though. 

Villarreal, Real Sociedad, AS Roma, RB Leipzig, VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt are all reportedly interested too.

It's been reported that Dortmund have already agreed personal terms with Silva, with a transfer fee in the region of €20 million currently under discussion.

BVB reportedly see Silva as both a backup option and a potential long-term successor to star striker Serhou Guirassy.
