Wolves Now ‘Really Close’ to Signing Andre
Wolverhampton Wanderers are closing in on a deal for Fluminense midfielder Andre, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
Gary O’Neil’s side are in advanced talks over a move worth £21 million, with an agreement now in the final stages ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.
The five-time capped Brazilian international was previously linked with several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Fulham.
Wolves are now on the verge of finalising a deal for the “top-class” Andre, which would mark their fifth signing of the summer in what has been a fairly quiet window for the Molineux outfit.
Andre will soon join the likes of Tommy Doyle, Rodrigo Gomes, Pedro Lima and Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is on loan from Celta Vigo, with further signings expected before the window closes on Friday.
Wolves are yet to introduce a replacement for Pedro Neto, who joined Chelsea earlier this month, with Ajax starlet Carlos Forbs still a priority candidate to bolster O’Neil’s frontline ahead of the deadline.
Andre Close to Molineux Move
Romano, speaking on his Playback live show, revealed Wolves’ deal to sign Andre is now nearing completion, with clubs in advanced talks over the Brazil international’s switch:
Andre, who was praised by Pep Guardiola as ‘quality’, has publicly admitted to being keen on a move to the Premier League before his proposed move to Fulham fell through earlier in the window.
The defensive midfielder joined Fluminense in 2021 and has made 197 appearances for the club, scoring four goals and registering four assists in the process.
Last year, he helped the Brazilian giants lift the Copa Libertadores – South America’s equivalent of the Champions League – for the first time in the club’s history.
Gary O’Neil’s side are in desperate need of late reinforcements, having lost their first two matches of the Premier League campaign, including a 6-2 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.
Speaking to GMS, Romano revealed the Molineux outfit could be looking to make two or three late signings before Friday’s deadline.
