Rangers flop slapped with mega transfer price tag as 4 European clubs lead chase

Rangers flop Fabio Silva has been told he can leave Wolves if a club meets their £17million asking price for the Portuguese forward.

Rangers took Silva on loan in a high-profile move last season but the 22-year-old - who was Wolves' record signing for £35 million when he moved four years ago - failed to live up to the hype. He scored just four league goals in 18 appearances and was allowed to return to Molineux in the summer after the loan deal expired.

He has no future under manager Gary O'Neil, but there are plenty of clubs across Europe keen on the former Porto talent. Valencia are reportedly leading the chase, but fellow Spanish side Espanyol are also interested. And Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg and Serie A side Genoa have both registered an interest in the player, who admitted this summer that he wanted to move away from English football.

Now Wolves have set a price tag for Silva, the Portuguese misfit seems set to end his hell in the Black Country. Silva scored against Hearts twice in the league as well as against Kilmarnock and Livingston. He also netted against Hibs and Ayr United in the Scottish Cup.
