AliousWolves Make Move for £34m Brazilian Midfield Gem as Pereira Pushes for Familiar Face
Wolverhampton Wanderers are stepping up their summer transfer business with reports emerging that the club has made contact over a move for Flamengo midfielder Evertton Araujo—at the request of new head coach Vitor Pereira.
With Matheus Cunha seemingly on his way to Manchester United in a big-money deal, Wolves are eyeing replacements to fill the attacking void.
Pereira, keen to mold the squad in his image, is believed to be pushing hard for the addition of Araujo, a 24-year-old Brazilian star he knows well from his time managing in South America.
Pereira has emphasized the importance of smart recruitment this summer, stating earlier:
*“We don’t need a lot of money, we just need to make the right decisions and have a plan.”* His admiration for Araujo appears central to that plan.
Araujo, who has a release clause set at €40m (£34m), has caught the attention of scouts across Europe for his strong, composed, and aggressive midfield displays.
Reports out of Brazil claim Wolves have already made initial contact to explore a deal.
Wolves’ recent focus on South American talent is no coincidence—following the arrival of Andre last summer, the club appears committed to mining Brazil’s talent-rich leagues.
With Pereira’s deep ties to the region, Araujo could be the next breakthrough star to land at Molineux and play a pivotal role in the club’s next phase under the Portuguese coach.
