Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing to sell André this summer, with the midfielder attracting strong interest across Europe after the club’s relegation to the Championship.
The Brazilian has been one of the few consistent performers in a difficult season at Molineux. Despite the team’s struggles, André has maintained his level, which now puts him firmly on the transfer list as Wolves look to avoid a drop in value.
Reports from Brazil indicate Wolves are targeting a fee between €30m and €40m (£26m-£35m) for the 23-year-old. That valuation reflects both his Premier League exposure and his growing reputation as a reliable defensive midfielder.
Transfer background
André was already on the Italian radar in January. ESPN Brazil journalist Felipe Silva revealed Juventus made an attempt to sign him during the winter window, but Wolves decided to keep hold of the player.
At the time, the club were still fighting to avoid relegation and were not prepared to weaken the squad mid-season. That stance has now changed following the drop to the Championship.
Juventus remain keen and are expected to revisit the situation in the coming months. Meanwhile, there is also interest from clubs in Turkey and England, which keeps the market competitive. In January, we covered that Liverpool intended to make an offer, that ultimately did not materialise.
Why Wolves are selling
André is not seen as a natural fit for the Championship. The expectation inside Wolves is that a ‘top-flight level’ offer will come for him in the next few months.
In addition, there is a clear financial motivation. The club are aware that keeping him in the Championship could reduce his market value. Selling now allows Wolves to capitalise on his current standing.
This approach mirrors the situation of more players in the squad who are also expected to leave. Recently we covered that four of the club’s most valuable assets, including André, are officially ‘for sale’.
What happens next
André Trindade da Costa Neto is expected to move early in the window, particularly with multiple clubs already showing interest.
A return to Brazil has been mentioned in some discussions, with clubs like Flamengo monitoring the situation. However, that scenario looks unlikely at this stage. The financial gap is significant, and European clubs remain in a much stronger position to meet Wolves’ demands.
For Wolves, the priority is clear. They want to move quickly, secure a strong fee, and reshape the squad for the Championship.
