Wolves have agreed to a €25 million transfer agreement.

Wolves are closing in on the acquisition of Andre from Fluminense, with the midfielder scheduled to have a medical at Molineux.

Gary O'Neil's team has agreed to sign the Brazil international for €25 million (£21 million) plus add-ons, with Andre due to go to England to complete his move to the Premier League.

The purchase is a record for Fluminense and will be viewed as a coup for Wolves, given interest in the 23-year-old from some of Europe's elite clubs. Manchester United and Liverpool have kept an eye on him, and Fulham has been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder in recent months.

Personal terms have been agreed, and Andre will become Wolves' sixth signing of the summer window. His presence will be a welcome boost for O'Neil, given his team's openness in their 6-2 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

Following the sales of Max Kilman (£40 million) to West Ham United and Pedro Neto (£54 million) to Chelsea, O'Neil indicated that Wolves would not conduct any additional activity.

Andre, on the other hand, appears to be on his way to Molineux before Friday's Premier League transfer deadline, where he will join colleagues Matheus Cunha and Joao Gomes from Brazil.

Who did Wolves sign Andre?

Andre is a defensive midfielder who rose through the ranks at Fluminense to become one of South America's hottest properties.

In 2021, he was voted the Best Newcomer in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and in 2022, he made the Team of the Season. Last year, he played an important role in the club's first Copa Libertadores win.

He has five senior caps for Brazil after making his debut with the Selecao in 2023.

Why Borussia Dortmund Targeted Giannis Konstantelias for Their Midfield Rebuild.

Borussia Dortmund’s signing of Giannis Konstantelias is a clear example of the club returning to one of its most successful recruitment principles: identify a technically gifted player before the wider European market fully understands his value, then place him in an environment where he can develop into a major star. The 23-year-old Greek has joined from PAOK on a long-term contract running until 2031, with the transfer package reported at around €26 million plus bonuses that could take the total beyond €30 million. Although Konstantelias is often described as an attacking midfielder or winger, his arrival is connected to Dortmund’s broader midfield rebuild. The club are not signing him only to add another forward. They are trying to restore creativity, unpredictability and technical quality after changes in the attacking group, including Karim Adeyemi’s move to Barcelona. Konstantelias gives Dortmund a player who can operate between midfield and attack, connect possession and create ...

How Ezri Konsa's Arrival at Arsenal Addresses the Saliba Injury Emergency.

Ezri Konsa’s move from Aston Villa to Arsenal is a response to an urgent defensive problem, but it is also a statement about the club’s ambition. Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal worth around €59.6 million plus add-ons for the 28-year-old England international, who is expected to sign after William Saliba suffered a serious back injury during France’s World Cup campaign. The transfer gives Mikel Arteta an experienced Premier League centre-back at precisely the moment when the club’s defensive depth has been severely tested. Saliba’s injury does not require surgery, but Arsenal confirmed that he will undergo a managed rehabilitation programme and miss an extended period. Other reports suggested he could be unavailable for four to five months, creating a major issue at the beginning of Arsenal’s title defence. Konsa’s arrival does not replace Saliba permanently, but it prevents the injury from weakening Arsenal’s entire campaign. The signing is important because Arsenal are not simp...

Savinho's Impact: How Tottenham's New Star Will Revolutionize De Zerbi's Tactics.

Savinho’s reported move from Manchester City to Tottenham represents far more than an expensive attacking transfer. Spurs are believed to have agreed a deal worth an initial £75 million, with a further £10 million in performance-related bonuses, taking the potential package to £85 million. The 22-year-old Brazilian winger is arriving as one of the central pieces of Roberto De Zerbi’s rebuild, a project designed to give Tottenham more creativity, unpredictability and attacking confidence after a difficult Premier League campaign. De Zerbi has made it clear that Tottenham need important players who can add genuine quality rather than simply increase the size of the squad. Savinho fits that description because he offers qualities that cannot be easily coached into an average winger. He can carry the ball at speed, beat defenders in one-versus-one situations, operate on either flank and create opportunities from positions that are difficult to defend. His arrival could transform Tottenham’...

Can Arsenal Defend Their Title? Analyzing the 2026/27 Premier League Start.

Arsenal begin the 2026/27 Premier League season as champions for the first time in 22 years, but defending the title may be more difficult than winning it. The Gunners open their campaign at home against newly promoted Coventry City on Friday, August 21, before travelling to Aston Villa and then hosting Chelsea at the Emirates. That opening schedule gives Arsenal a chance to build momentum, but it also introduces an early test of whether they can handle the pressure that comes with being the team everyone now wants to defeat. The 2025/26 title proved that Mikel Arteta’s project has reached a new level. Arsenal are no longer simply a talented side trying to challenge Manchester City or Liverpool. They are the champions, and every opponent will approach them with greater motivation. The question is whether Arsenal can maintain the hunger, defensive intensity and consistency that carried them to the top. A different kind of pressure Winning the Premier League creates one kind of pressure....

Why Tijjani Reijnders' Year at Manchester City is a Testament to Career Growth.

Tijjani Reijnders’ first year at Manchester City was not a straightforward success story, but that is precisely what makes it meaningful. He arrived from AC Milan for an initial fee of £46.5 million, produced 47 appearances and seven goals in his debut campaign, yet still left the club after only one season for a reported £52 million move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah. On the surface, the short stay may look like a disappointment. Viewed more carefully, it becomes a lesson in adaptation, self-awareness and the difficult choices that shape a professional career. Reijnders’ year at City showed that growth is not always measured by how long a player remains at one club. Sometimes it is measured by what he learns in a demanding environment, how honestly he assesses his situation and whether he leaves with greater value and understanding than when he arrived. His time in Manchester exposed him to the highest tactical demands of elite football, the physical intensity of the Premier Lea...
