Fábio Silva has struggled at Wolverhampton Wanderers since arriving at Molineux from FC Porto in 2020.
The Premier League side paid €40m for the striker and he was then their club-record signing. Wolves let him join UD Las Palmas on a season-long loan deal in the last window.
On Thursday, the 22-year-old spoke to the Spanish media, with La Provincia relaying his quotes.
Silva was restricted to 373 minutes from 10 games for Wolves in the first half of last season. Gary O’Neil’s side sanctioned a loan move to Rangers in January, and he was able to enjoy regular game time at Ibrox.
He was asked about the €40m fee invested by Wolves to buy him. When responding to that, the Portuguese insisted he had no role when they decided his price tag.
“The issue of the €40m price tag is something that happened and I am not to blame. I try to do things well on the field. I’m 22 years old, people forget, I think I’m doing things well, naturally, that’s why I’m here.”
The Wolves man previously had loan spells at Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and Rangers. It’s the first time the English club have allowed him to move to a top five league. Silva believes he’s now at the right place to make further progress in his career.
“It’s the first time that I’m in one of the five main leagues. Las Palmas are the ideal club. They have an idea of the game that I love and that’s attractive to the fans. For me it’s the perfect place,” Silva explained.
“In life I learned that on a personal level things come naturally, I come because I’m a striker and I also live for goals. But I can play in many positions, wherever the coach wants.”
