Wolves ‘in the fight’ to sign standout player – £35m needed, summer deal could be on cards

Wolverhampton Wanderers have to bring in reinforcements this summer after seeing some of their key players leave Molineux.

One of the areas the Premier League side need to bolster is their midfield, after Rúben Neves’ sale to Al-Hilal.

Fluminense’s André is identified as a target. That’s according to Bolavip Brasil, who state Wolves have ‘entered the fray’ for the 22-year-old.

The defensive midfielder, who has made 34 appearances this year, ‘stands out’ at the club for his fine displays.

This has seen him become the ‘darling’ of the market and has caught the attention of European clubs. Wolves are among them and have shown interest in the player, as an option to replace Neves.

Julen Loptegui’s side are ‘in the fight’, along with Fulham and Liverpool, to secure André’s  services. The report adds unnamed clubs from Italy and France are also in the picture.

Bolavip Brasil state the Brazil international ‘may leave’ Fluminense, who will ‘only agree to negotiate’ his sale for R$215m [£35m].

Fulham tried signing him in January but their offer was rejected by the South American club. Earlier this month, AS stated the London club have rekindled their interest and will enter into talks with Fluminense over a deal for André.
