Wolves ‘line up late deal’ for new top striker target after Chelsea request huge fee for Broja
According to reports, Wolves have elevated Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto to their top transfer target in an attempt to strengthen Gary O’Neil’s offensive line.
Although his contract with Wolves expires in December 2027, the 22-year-old is a strong contender to start at the front of the line after Chelsea turned down their offer to recruit Armando Broja on loan.
At Molineux, finances are tight, and Wolves have no plans to match the Blues’ £50 million asking price for the Albanian striker.
They have now focused on Alberto, who debuted in Brazil in March of last year, as a result.
Alberto joined Corinthians on a free transfer from Zenit St. Petersburg in January 2023 and has made 95 appearances for the team, tallying 26 goals and 11 assists.
Zenit allowed the Brazilian to return to after paying an incredible €25 million for him less than a year in Russia, returning home for nothing.
O’Neill, who has been itching to recruit a striker since his first day on the job, would undoubtedly consider him as a wild card alternative.
O’Neil’s job has become much more difficult than he would have wanted due to financial constraints, but it has been difficult to tell on the field this season.
Despite Wolves’ outstanding Premier League results, the head coach is still looking for a No. 9 and has made an attempt to sign Alberto.
Wolves “are lining up a late deal” for the Brazil international, according to Telegraph Sport.
Wolves have now declared Alberto a “serious target” and “proposed a loan move until the end of the season.”
After Wolves “considered” offers for Hugo Ekitike of Paris Saint-Germain and Danny Ings, a striker for West Ham, talks have begun.
According to Corinthians officials, Alberto rejected West Ham when they were connected to him in the past.
The Molineux club would prefer a loan arrangement, but it’s not certain if this would work for the Wolves
