AliousWolves Prepare €15m Swoop for Brazilian Prodigy Wallace Yan – Flamengo Demand Firm, Player Already Turning Heads in Europe
Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to step up their pursuit of Flamengo forward Wallace Yan, with an official bid expected in the coming days, according to credible reports from Brazil, including journalist Bruno Lemos via Torcida.
The Premier League side have been closely monitoring the 20-year-old attacker, and sources suggest the club is ready to make its move. However, Flamengo have made their position clear—they won’t consider any offer below €15 million. While Wallace’s contract includes a hefty €50 million release clause for foreign clubs, Wolves are aiming to secure his signature for significantly less.
Despite limited minutes in the senior squad, Wallace has already shown why he’s considered one of Brazil’s most promising young attackers. Originally a winger, he was repositioned as a central forward by Flamengo boss Filipe Luís—former Chelsea and Atlético Madrid left-back—who has managed him since youth level. Under Luís’ guidance, Wallace has developed into a lethal, space-savvy forward with electric acceleration and an instinctive eye for goal.
“He works harder than anyone and is hungry to succeed,” Filipe Luís remarked. “He brings goals and versatility—two things you always want in a forward.”
That hunger is reflected both on and off the pitch. Wallace has scored six goals and notched three assists this season, despite starting only once in 15 appearances. His knack for scoring in big games has earned him a growing reputation in Brazil, with coaching staff praising his maturity, discipline, and professionalism.
He caught global attention at the FIFA Club World Cup, where he scored against Chelsea and made history as the first substitute to score in consecutive matches in the tournament. FIFA even spotlighted him on their official platforms.
Off the pitch, Wallace has impressed scouts with his dedication—he’s learning English and sticking to a customised training regime to stay sharp when not starting. His long-term contract with Flamengo runs until December 2027, giving the Brazilian side strong leverage.
Still, with European clubs circling, Wolves hope their €15m offer will be enough to persuade Flamengo to part ways with their rising star. The race is on to secure one of South America’s most exciting attacking prospects before rivals make a move.
