Wolvescontinue to see Jhon Arias’ name circulate in Brazil, and a new layer appeared this week.
For the first time, Globo – the country’s most reliable and influential newsroom – confirmed that Flamengo have genuine interest in the Colombian winger. Until now, the noise had come from fan media and independent pundits.
Even so, the report states that Arias is not a priority for Flamengo. The club monitor him from a distance, but their 2026 plan focuses on other positions agreed internally with manager Filipe Luís. That marks a shift from recent speculation, which suggested a more aggressive pursuit.
Globo also highlight that Arias is not negotiating a return to Brazil. Despite his difficult Premier League start, the player has not opened talks about leaving England.
The outlet remind readers of one important detail: when Arias left Fluminense for Wolves, he privately promised to return to the Rio side one day.
That promise, combined with Flamengo’s lower urgency, softens the idea of an imminent move. For now, Arias remains a Wolves signing trying to settle in the Premier League, while the talk in Brazil adjusts to something closer to reality than rumour.
