Wolverhampton Wanderers asked Atlético Madrid about Felipe when they were negotiating a deal for Matheus Cunha.
The forward has completed a move to Molineux, but no progress was made on signing Felipe. He is now back again on the Premier League side’s agenda.
On Thursday, we relayed claims made in Spain that Julen Lopetegui is insisting Wolves sign the defender in January.
The centre-back has made three appearances this season and has not featured for the La Liga side since playing the full 90 minutes in his side’s league defeat to RCD Mallorca in November.
With a deal expiring in June, Los Rojiblancos ‘await his departure’ in the winter market. Wolves can be an option for the 33-year-old as the report states they have offered him a two-year contract.
Over at AS, they also explain that Felipe is a target for Wolves and the negotiations are progressing in the right direction.
Due to the time left on his deal, the idea of the player changing clubs in January is ‘not so far-fetched’.
