Wolves have announced their second signing of the summer transfer window, capturing Jhon Arias from Fluminense.
Some Wolves players are already excited to play with Arias, who followed Andre from Fluminense to Molineux.
It’s a hugely exciting signing for the Old Gold, whose attack needed some replenishment after the departures of Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia.
Though Wolves fans are delighted by Arias’ arrival, it’s clear that supporters want to see Vitor Pereira’s squad strengthened even further, with one name doing the rounds.
Wolves fans really want the club to sign Samuel Lino
Wolves have shown an interest in Samuel Lino of Atletico Madrid.
Things are fragile when it comes to Atletico, who just hijacked Wolves’ move for Marc Pubill, but the Spanish club could rebuild bridges with the Old Gold using Lino.
Atletico want to find Lino a new club, and Wolves are a possible destination, something fans are dreaming of.
“They owe us him,” one Wolves fan said with regard to Atletico poaching Pubill.
“BRING BRING BRING,” another supporter said, as fans grouped together to make their desire to sign Lino known.
One said, “I’d be all over this,” with another agreeing, “I’d snap him up, think he’d be excellent.”
Atletico want a fee in the region of €20m-€25m to let Lino go, a price that Wolves fans think the club should pay without hesitation.
“For that price, it’s a no-brainer for me. Then sort out the RWB position, as well as further reinforcements, and we’re looking good.”
“Got to get this one done at that price, fantastic player. We’d genuinely only be a RWB from a very good starting side then, just the depth to sort.”
“Must bring man…” a fan said, while another called on Jorge Mendes to work his magic.
“Land Lino, get a RWB and a left-sided 10 and that starting 11 is conference league ready. Depth an issue still but easier to replace depth than ready-made starters, c’mon uncle Jorge…. Deliver this one.”
In response to Wolves announcing the capture of Arias, one supporter said, “Lino next please lads.”
Wolves have everything they need to complete Lino transfer
While some transfers are difficult to achieve, some are more straightforward.
In the case of Lino, Wolves have all the resources they require to begin negotiating with Atletico.
For starters, the Old Gold know how much Atletico expect for the Brazilian’s transfer, with matters made a lot easier given that the Spaniards are open to a sale.
There’s a problem in that Nottingham Forest and Napoli are also admirers of the winger, prompting Wolves to act fast if they are to avoid another transfer upset.
