Wolves fans are adamant that one player simply cannot be allowed to depart this summer.
There has been an exodus so far this summer – and it has shown no signs of stopping.
The likes of Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Pablo Sarabia, Craig Dawson, Carlos Forbs, Tommy Doyle and Nasser Djiga have all left already this summer.
But there could be further outgoings, with Wolves expecting Nelson Semedo to move on, and Sam Johnstone, Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-chan all linked with moves away.
On Saturday though, there was one transfer link involving a player that came very out of the blue.
Apparently, Juventus are interested in Wolves midfielder Andre.
It was then claimed by Gianluca Di Marzio that Andre could leave for €30-35 million (£26-30 million) – and as expected, Wolves fans have had a lot to say about that.
Wolves fans react to claim Andre could leave for Juventus for just £30m
Andre took a bit of time last season to acclimatise to the English top-flight, although he might have done that a lot quicker had Gary O’Neil shown more faith in him.
But by the end of the campaign, Wolves fans are in awe of Andre, whose consistency saw him become one of the top holding midfielders in the Premier League.
Dave Edwards said Andre was one of the best number sixes in the competition, and the Brazilian certainly received his flowers from many fans.
There is now a solid argument for Andre being Wolves’ best player after Cunha left.
And with this in mind, many Wolves fans have absolutely laughed off the report suggesting Andre could leave for Juventus for around £30 million.
@cyanlight_: “I doubt they can afford him, let’s be honest.”
@paullindsay69: “Not a chance!”
@wwfc2325: “Let’s be real here they can not afford him 😂”
@ShillyingShally: “£100m. They can have him. But not for a penny less. We don’t need to sell.”
@chloewfc122: “Doesn’t he have like a 5 year contract? In that case just say £80mill and they will go.”
Andre should be deemed unsellable
Wolves should tell Juventus in no uncertain terms where to go if they come calling for Andre.
Given who has already left Molineux, a departure for Andre this summer – after just one year at the club – would be absolutely crushing.
We have all seen how good he is.
He can get on the ball in that midfield and completely control games, making it look easy at times when it is far from being that.
There is surely not a chance that Wolves would sell such a key player with a high ceiling and long contract, especially considering the club bought him for £21 million last year. Andre is probably worth at least three times that fee now.
Simply put, Wolves must make Andre unsellable now. And one could imagine Vitor Pereira getting behind that stance.
He has played Andre at practically every turn since he came to Wolves. Indeed, Pereira talked up Andre earlier this year, highlighting him as the player who ‘balances the space in between the lines’ and suggesting there is much more to come from him in the future.
Cashing in for a fee that is even considerably above the £30 million would just send out completely the wrong messages.
Wolves need to build around him, not offload him for a quick profit.
