Atlético de Madrid continues working on strengthening its squad for the upcoming season, and one of the names on its agenda is Fábio Silva. The Portuguese forward, currently on loan at UD Las Palmas from Wolverhampton, is having a brilliant season in LaLiga, attracting interest from European giants.
According to MARCA, the red-and-white club is closely monitoring the situation of the striker, whose future seems far from the Premier League. His arrival at Atleti would put players like Ángel Correa in a delicate situation, as his prominence in Diego Simeone's team could be reduced.
Fábio Silva, the Talent That Enchants Atlético de Madrid
At 22 years old, Fábio Silva has become one of the great revelations of Spanish soccer. With seven goals and two assists in 17 matches, his performance at Las Palmas has caught the attention of several teams. The Portuguese forward has demonstrated his ability to shine in big matches, scoring goals against Real Madrid and Barcelona.
His playing style fits perfectly with Simeone's philosophy: speed, intensity, and a knack for scoring. Silva, who was signed by Wolverhampton in 2020 for 42 million euros, now has an estimated market value of 18 million. His signing wouldn't require a huge outlay, making him an attractive option for Atlético.
The Statements Bringing Silva Closer to Atleti
Fábio Silva himself recently spoke about Atlético de Madrid's interest in an interview with The Athletic. His words hinted that the red-and-white project appeals to him. "Atlético de Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world, with one of the best coaches. In any case, I'm currently focused on Las Palmas," the Portuguese forward stated.
Although he remains focused on his current team, the reality is that his loan at Las Palmas is just a stepping stone to a higher-level team. Atlético de Madrid could seize this market opportunity to acquire a forward with great potential.
Ángel Correa on the Tightrope
The potential signing of Fábio Silva could lead to a restructuring of the red-and-white forward line. Ángel Correa, one of the most beloved players by the Atlético fans, has seen his prominence reduced in recent months. The arrival of a young and promising striker like Silva could jeopardize his continuity in the team.
