Wolves Launch Shock Move for £85m South American Wonderkid – First Contact Made as Premier League Rivals Watch in Fear of Stunning Transfer Coup That Could Light Up Molineux!

Wolves Make Opening Move for £85m-Rated South American Starlet in Surprise Transfer Push


After securing their first summer signing in Fer Lopez, Wolverhampton Wanderers are now eyeing another exciting addition—this time targeting one of South America’s most highly rated young midfielders.

Fer Lopez, a £19 million signing from Celta Vigo, arrives in the West Midlands with big expectations. The 21-year-old winger enjoyed a breakout season in La Liga and is being tipped to shine in the Premier League. Many Celta Vigo fans have reacted with fury over his departure, believing the club has lost a generational talent.

Interestingly, Lopez already has a minor history with English football—at just 14, he spent time playing for Suffolk-based grassroots team Bacton United ’89. His former coach, Ryan Owens, described him as “different gravy,” recalling how the teenager dominated training sessions with outrageous skill and clinical finishing.

Now back on English soil, Lopez is relishing the opportunity: “It’s an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League, and I’m very happy,” he told Wolves’ official media.

But Wolves’ ambition this summer doesn’t end there. According to Brazilian outlet *UOL*, via *Sport Witness*, the club has made a first formal move for highly rated Corinthians midfielder **Breno Bidon**. The 20-year-old is attracting interest from other Premier League sides as well, including Arsenal and Brighton.

While Bidon’s contract contains a hefty €100m (£85m) release clause, reports suggest Corinthians would be open to selling him for a much lower fee—around €15m (£13m)—to ease financial pressure, offering a golden opportunity for Wolves to pounce.

Should the deal go through, Bidon would become the second Brazilian midfield recruit under head coach Vitor Pereira, following last year’s arrival of Andre from Fluminense. With both prospects under his guidance, Pereira would be well-equipped with two emerging talents as he prepares for his first full campaign in charge at Molineux.

With their youth-first strategy becoming clearer by the day, Wolves appear set on building a squad full of potential—and they’re wasting no time identifying the stars of tomorrow.
