Defender Silvio has left Atletico Madrid and signed for Wolves on a one-year contract, with the club holding the option for an additional year.
The Championship club confirmed they have landed the 28-year-old one day after Walter Zenga was announced as the new head coach at Molineux.
Wolves have had a busy off-season, with a takeover by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International now complete and Silvio, a full-back, is their newest addition.
“The versatile full back has put pen to paper on a one year contract – with a further year’s option in the club’s favour – having reached a settlement to have his contract cancelled with Champions League runners-up Atletico Madrid,” read Wolves’ statement.
Silvio signed for Atletico in May 2011, winning the Europa League in his first season, but joined Deportivo La Coruna on loan midway through his second campaign at the Vicente Calderon after injuries limited his effectiveness.
The stopper then spent three consecutive seasons on loan at Benfica, making only 13 league appearances in that spell.
After joining Wolves, Silvio – who won the last of his eight caps for Portugal in 2013 – revealed he had long wanted to play in English football and targeted immediate promotion to the Premier League.
He said: “I’m really happy to be here. It’s always been a desire of mine to play in England and play in the Premier League.
“The Championship is a tough league but I’m positive that we will be doing all we can to gain promotion and achieve Premier League football.
“Wolves is an historic club with experience in the top division. The club isn’t in its best moment but I think it can get back there.

Icardi needs to improve as a man – Sacchi
AC Milan great Arrigo Sacchi has told Inter captain Mauro Icardi that he has to “improve as a man” in order to succeed at the highest level.
The two-time European Cup winning coach gave his verdict on the latest transfer dramas in Serie A, with Gonzalo Higuain having joined Juventus for €90million and Napoli chasing Icardi as they attempt to replace his compatriot. Sacchi, 70, also revealed he had previously advised Silvio Berlusconi to bring Maurizio Sarri and Paulo Dybala to Milan, but the duo ended up joining Napoli and Juve respectively.
“I spoke to Silvio Berlusconi two years ago – I told him to get Maurizio Sarri when he was Empoli coach and also Dybala as a player, who was then at Palermo,” Sacchi told La Nacion.
“Dybala is a phenomenon, he’s a great player and a great guy. I always look at the man first. “Dybala is fantastic and I’m sure he’s going to improve a lot. Icardi as a man is less reliable than Dybala. If he improves as a man he will grow because he also has a lot of talent.”
He added: “When I signed Frank Rijkaard I sent a man I trusted to Zaragoza for 20 days to watch how he trained, what he ate, how he behaved with rivals and team-mates. When I was wrong, I was wrong about the man and not about the footballer.
“Gonzalo Higuain had an incredible, incredible season and therefore he costs a lot. Do you know the world of football? It’s run on emotions and he gives great emotions.”
Sacchi, though, is concerned about the growing trend of massive transfer fees in the modern game.

Netherlands defender Jetro Willems has revealed he is highly likely to leave PSV before the transfer window closes.
The 22-year-old made the announcement after playing in his side’s 1-0 victory over Feyenoord in the Johan Cruyff Shield on Sunday.
Willems has been with PSV for five years having joined them from Sparta Rotterdam in August 2011.
He only has one year remaining on his contract, with PSV reportedly demanding around €10million if they are to sell him, with the player himself recently stating that Champions League clubs from Europe’s top leagues have expressed an interest.
“There are a number of clubs that have been in touch,” Willems, who has also been linked with Liverpool, said to Fox Sports. “We are looking at my options. I don’t know whether I will be gone by the time the Eredivisie season has started [on August 5], but things will be alright, I am not overly worried about that.
“I am focused on PSV for now. We won another trophy today, silverware just keeps coming.” He added to Eindhovens Dagblad: “I have been here now for five years and will always remain committed as long as I have this shirt on.
“I am not going to do probabilities because I don’t want to disappoint anyone. But it is clear that a transfer can happen.”

Lyon plan to offer Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette a contract extension to keep him at the club, according to president Jean-Michel Aulas.
The France international is wanted by Arsene Wenger, but the Ligue 1 outfit have already rejected a €35million bid for the 25-year-old.
Lacazette, who scored 21 league goals last season, is contracted until 2019 with Lyon. However, Aulas is keen to show the forward – who netted in a 3-2 friendly win over Benfica on Sunday – how much he is wanted by extending that deal.
“We will propose to Lacazette to extend his contract to show him he is one of our greatest assets,” he said.
Another Lyon player linked with a move away is Rachid Ghezzal, the Algeria international who also impressed last season.
Ghezzal scored eight goals and had as many assists in the league last campaign, leading to reported interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.

Gameiro: Atletico Madrid were my first choice
Kevin Gameiro says he always wanted to join Atletico Madrid despite attracting the interest of Barcelona prior to his move from Sevilla.
The 29-year-old was long linked with a move to Barca, but ultimately signed for Atletico on Saturday, agreeing a four-year contract with Luciano Vietto heading to Sevilla on loan as part of the deal.
After scoring 29 goals in all competitions last season and winning three straight Europa League crowns with his former club, Gameiro set his sights on LaLiga and Champions League glory as he was unveiled to supporters on Sunday.
“In my head, it was all clear,” the Frenchman added, “I wanted to join Atletico from the beginning and I am confident of good times ahead. I have signed a four-year deal and am optimistic about the future. View image on Twitter

Wijnaldum sets goals target at Liverpool
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is “greedy” for goals, setting himself a target of at least 10 in his first season at the club.
The £23million recruit made his debut for Jurgen Klopp’s side on Saturday, playing a half in a 2-0 win over AC Milan at the International Champions Cup.
Wijnaldum has scored at least 10 goals in his past two seasons, including netting 11 for Newcastle United in the Premier League in 2015-16. The versatile Netherlands international, used in central midfield on debut, has set himself a similar target again.
“I am greedy to score and will do the same this season, look for chances to score. I did it at Feyenoord, PSV, Newcastle. I always want to score,” Wijnaldum said.
“It’s because I have the quality to score goals. To be fair I have the quality to create chances too and because I create a lot, I score goals.” He added: “I think a player with my quality has to at least get a minimum of 10 a season. That’s what I always said.
“Sometimes you reach more, sometimes less, like last season I got 11. But because I create so many chances I have to score at least 10 – that’s the pressure I put on myself.”
Wijnaldum is one of six additions at Liverpool, with Sadio Mane, Joel Matip, Loris Karius, Ragnar Klavan and Alex Manninger also having joined.
Klopp’s men are looking to improve on their eighth-place finish of last season, and Wijnaldum has no doubt they can push for a long-awaited league title.
“Of course we can be serious challengers,” he said. “If you play for a club as big as Liverpool you always have to be trying to win trophies – that always has to be the aim.
“You’re never going to be happy with eighth or ninth here. You have to go for titles.
“That’s the dream for me to help Liverpool create more history and I will do everything I can for that.

Messi is better than Pele and Maradona, says Pope Francis
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi has been proclaimed the best ever footballer by Pope Francis.
Barcelona and Argentina’s all-time leading goalscorer, Messi has constantly been compared to past greats Pele and Diego Maradona, while going head-to-head with Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
But Pope Francis – the leader of the Catholic Church and a renowned San Lorenzo supporter – threw his support behind countryman Messi.
“For me, [Lionel] Messi is better than Maradona and Pele,” Pope Francis was quoted as telling young men and women participating in World Youth Day. Messi endured a difficult Copa America Centenario, stunning the world when he announced his retirement from national team duty after Argentina lost to Chile on penalties in the final.

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino looks to be finally allowed to leave the Hawthorns this summer with the Midlands outfit set to sign West Ham United’s Diafra Sakho.
The 26-year-old should be confirmed a West Brom player in the next 48 hours according to reports, and will break Albion’s transfer record in the process. Nevertheless, the news will be met with joy from the want-away Berahino.
Why does Berahino want out of West Brom? Tottenham Hotspur wanted Saido Berahino back in the summer of 2015, but saw their interest rebuffed by the club chairman Jeremy Peace. The decision to reject the bids left Berahino famously angry, and his refusal to play for the club while Peace remain chairman led to an underwhelming season.
Berahino scored four goals in 31 Premier appearances last season, but made just 17 starts. The 22-year-old looked short of fitness after apologising and returning to the Albion first-team, but supporters continued to question why Peace wouldn’t just set the unhappy player. At the time, the lure of Tottenham Hotspur comes with the chance of challenging for major trophies, as well as boosting his chances of an England call-up if he was performing well at White Hart Lane. But turning out for a struggling West Bromwich Albion side risked turning his career stagnant.
West Brom making a U-turn on Berahino now they’ve replaced him? West Bromwich Albion’s pursuit of West Ham United’s Diafra Sakho is very significant. The Senegalese international has a similar skill-set to Berahino. Diminutive, pacey and a ruthless finisher when in-form, Sakho will be a good poacher type for Albion this season.
He will need good support due to his lack of strength coming up against defenders, but will offer the same threat as Berahino had done in his 12 years with the Midlands outfit. Sakho has plenty of Premier League experience but was seeking out of Upton Park as a result of a poor relationship with manager Slaven Bilic.
Stoke City and Crystal Palace are the two sides leading the chase for Saido Berahino, while Tottenham Hotspur no longer consider the Englishman as a viable target. Given Spurs finished third in the Premier League last season, and will be in the Champions League this term, Berahino will perhaps have even more resentment for West Brom for missing out on a big move.
