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.
