Anderlecht tried to get Silva already in January

OTHER Already since January Anderlecht is busy getting Fabio Silva. That is what Het Laatste Nieuws writes. In this way, the purple-white gradually managed to win the heart of the Portuguese and his entourage.


In January Anderlecht saw how Christian Kouamé went to the Africa Cup. Anderlecht considered an extra striker and ended up with Fabio Silva. Wolverhampton did not want to let him go, but in the months that followed Anderlecht kept the fire warm. Anderlecht knew that in the summer they would have to go on the transfer market again to find replacements for Kouamé and Joshua Zirkzee.

Anderlecht remains in contact with Silva, his father and his manager. With Nmecha and Zirkzee as references, Anderlecht manages to convince them to be a good environment for young, promising strikers. In April Anderlecht invites Silva and his entourage. In Neerpede, purple-white presents their project and Silva is there when Anderlecht plays the cup final. The Silva clan is convinced: Anderlecht is the ideal environment when the young striker can't play anymore at Wolves.

During the mid-season, Wolverhamton becomes convinced that a loan move is the best option for their young striker. The physically demanding Belgian league and the fact that Anderlecht will take Silva's wages over, convinced Wolves.
