During the interview granted to TuttoMercatoWeb.com people Carlos Oliveira This is how he commented on his client’s journey Fabio Silva, paid 40 million euros by Wolverhampton in the summer of 2020, before embarking on a long loan journey around Europe. Up to Scotland, more precisely among the ranks of Rangers, where the striker born in 2002 has finally found himself.
Oliveira, how do you rate your client’s season?
“The first part of the season at Woves wasn’t the best, Fabio didn’t play much. Wolverhampton had made us promises, so Fabio was willing to stay in the team, but then the promises made failed. The second part of the season, however, was positive. Although he didn’t play in his role, Fabio made himself available to the coach and the team, scoring goals and making assists. It was a learning experience, he learned about the game better and I’m sure it will be useful to him in the future”
In your opinion, what can be improved to take a further “step” in quality?
“I believe it is essential that he manages to stabilize himself in a club where he feels the trust of the club and where he can have good playing time for at least two seasons in a row. He is still very young, he is 21 years old and has immense potential, he will have to work hard and stay focused on his goals. The striker is a particular role, many mature over time and patience is needed.”
If you had to compare Silva to another player, who would you compare him to?
“I think he looks a lot like Edinson Cavani or Diego Forlan. If he finds the right environment in my opinion he can, when he is 24/25 years old, he can become one of the best strikers in Europe.”
