If it were entirely up to him, Fabio Silva would be pleased to formalize a longer-term move to Rangers.Since joining Rangers in January, the 21-year-old attacker on loan from Wolves has made 13 appearances and scored four goals.
The Portuguese player was loaned out to Anderlecht and PSV Eindhoven before joining Wolves for a reputed £35 million in 2020 from Porto.
He remarked, “I’m loving being here,” following his second goal of the game as Rangers defeated Hibernian 2-0 in the Scottish Cup.
“These are not entirely within my control. Staying is not entirely my choice; if it were, I may say yes. However, I could answer “yes,” in which case you would still have a lot of work to do.
“Maybe I have the least say in whether I stay here, but we have two months to enjoy the game and win titles. If we do well and win trophies after that, I believe Rangers and I will give it our all so that I can stay here.
I consider everything to be going well when you see me smiling while I play. I want to play here for the support of my teammates, the staff, and the spectators.
“I’m happy to be in this place. It’s really enjoyable for me. They’re bringing me happiness, which is what I’ve been striving to regain.”
Silva, who played a portion of his childhood career for the Lisbon team, brought up Rangers’ second goal in their 2-2 draw with Benfica in Thursday’s Europa last 16 first leg.
Thursday at 17:45 GMT at Ibrox is the second leg.
“Winning is a significant step in the competition. You’ve made it to the final eight,” Silva continued.
For all Rangers, this is a significant milestone. Everyone wants to be on this platform, even the players and the club. We’ll be prepared for Thursday, then. This game is sure to be great; these kinds of games are always unique. That much is true at Ibrox.
“We still have a long way to go on this trip. To be prepared to perform as we wish to be in every tournament, everyone must adopt a different mindset. In the changing room after the match against Benfica, we all had a conversation. We made an effort to convey to everyone that we must aim for this in all tournaments, not just the Europa League.
Because everyone wants to play those games, it’s easy to adopt that mindset in Europe. Playing those games doesn’t require motivation. This season, we can do amazing feats.”
