After signing Matheus Cunha from Atlético Madrid, Wolverhampton Wanderers look again at the Spanish club to bolster their squad in the winter market.
The Premier League side have their eyes set on Felipe, who has a contract expiring in June and has not been relied upon by Diego Simeone this season.
Two days ago, UOL in Brazil reported Julen Lopetegui called the defender to convince him to join Wolves.
Mundo Deportivo state Los Rojiblancos could bring in a new centre-back if the 33-year-old were to leave this month.
The report suggests the Brazilian’s transfer to Molineux could be closed in the next few days and that’s all Mundo have to say about Wolves in their report.
Over at Marca, they also explain the La Liga side have plans to sign a new defender should Felipe move elsewhere in the current window.
Atlético are trying to convince the South American it is best for him to leave this month after Wolves come forward to sign him.
It’s said Lopetegui’s side ‘try to seduce him’ to join them, while Everton are also fighting for his signature. However, Felipe has been reluctant to leave and has refused to give in even when there was an agreement between the clubs.
There is a ‘moderate confidence’ at Atlético he will eventually agree to leave. Marca add that it looks like the defender is about to give his approval to Wolves.
In the event Felipe agrees to leave Simeone’s side in January, both Mundo and Marca state Atlético’s plan is to sign Leicester City’s Çağlar Söyüncü.
