Wolves preparing to make official offer for Club World Cup star but a problem has just emerged

Wolves Plot Move for Flamengo Star Wallace Yan Amid Contract Twist

Wolves are pushing to bolster their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season following the arrival of Fer Lopez—and they’re now preparing a bid for another exciting target.

Manager Vitor Pereira has mostly seen players head for the exit so far this summer and has openly expressed concern over the lack of arrivals.

With pre-season fast approaching, both Pereira and the fanbase are growing anxious about the need for reinforcements before the first round of friendly matches.

Once again, Wolves have turned their attention to the South American market, this time focusing on Flamengo—Pereira’s former club and the same one that produced midfield talent Joao Gomes.

According to reports, Wolves have been keeping tabs on Wallace Yan, and a significant development emerged late last night. The club is expected to submit an official offer for the Brazilian winger next week.

Wallace, 20, has been in red-hot form this year, registering six goals and three assists in 2025 alone. His performances at the Club World Cup—where he scored against Chelsea and LAFC—have further enhanced his reputation and drawn attention from European clubs.

Wolves reportedly value Wallace at around £13 million, which falls short of his current release clause.

However, a potential complication has now emerged. Flamengo have opened talks with Wallace over a new contract that would tie him to the club until 2030, offer him a significant pay rise, and likely increase his release clause.

This development puts pressure on Wolves to act quickly. If the youngster signs an extension, it could effectively end their chances of bringing him to Molineux.

While Jorge Mendes is currently helping orchestrate a move away for Fabio Silva, Wolves may need the agent’s influence once again—this time to ensure they don’t miss out on one of Brazil’s most promising talents.
