Vitor Pereira sweating as club ready to tempt £34m Wolves transfer target with new contract
Wolves fans are starting to get itchy feet over new signings.
So far, just one new face has come through the door at Molineux, with Fer Lopez signing from Celta Vigo.
Wolves dropped nearly £20 million on Lopez which was a lot for a player who hasn’t had a great deal of first-team minutes so far, but hopes are high over the Spanish gem.
But Wolves fans now want to see more new additions – preferably players who have a bit more experience under their belt.
But the club continue to be in the mix for those youngsters with high ceilings.
And recently, Wolves have been linked with a move for Wallace Yan of Flamengo.
But Wolves may not be racing against the clock to sign Yan.
Flamengo want to hand Wolves target Wallace Yan a new contract
Flamengo have caught people’s attention recently having been playing at the Club World Cup.
The Brazilian club have made it to the Round of 16 and face Bayern Munich tonight for a place in the quarter-final.
And Wallace Yan has certainly caught the eye at the tournament so far.
Brazilian media hailed Wallace for his goalscoring cameo against LAFC, with one of his teammates branding him an ‘animal’ after the 1-1 draw.
Wolves are thought to be interested in Wallace, who has a £34 million release clause.
But Flamengo are keen to keep their young star, and according to Mundo Bola, will now try to give Wallace a new contract.
Wolves are said to have not yet made any offer for the player.
It is stated that although there is a £34 million release clause, Wallace could be signed for cheaper.

The report states that Flamengo will look to do this once their participation at the Club World Cup is over.
Wolves will hope that the player does not commit his future to Flamengo, as a new contract would make it very difficult to sign him for a lower fee.
It will be interesting to see what the coming weeks bring, but while a move for Wallace would be nice, Wolves fans mainly now want to see more experienced players coming in.
Pedro Neto had former Wolves manager Bruno Lage reminiscing after Club World Cup exit
Former Wolves manager Bruno Lage didn’t enjoy his reunion with Pedro Neto as Chelsea knocked Benfica out of the Club World Cup.
Lage stunned many as he took charge of Benfica in September 2024, following on from a dreary time at Botafogo.
The former Wolves manager left Molineux in October 2022, then made the move to Brazil, where he lasted just three months at Botafogo before being axed.
Now, Lage is at the helm of Benfica, where in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, the Portuguese coach was knocked out by a familiar face.
Bruno Lage blown away by Pedro Neto at the Club World Cup
Pedro Neto is one of five former Wolves stars at the Club World Cup with their new clubs.
Lage spoke highly of Neto before Benfica clashed with Chelsea, reminiscing on his time at Wolves and the transfer links to Enzo Fernandez.
Unfortunately for Lage, the ex-Wolves boss was forced to reminisce after the contest too, but not in the way he’d perhaps hoped.
In a dramatic fixture that spanned over four hours due to being suspended because of the weather, Benfica lost 4-1 to Chelsea in a clash that was very much influenced by Neto.
