Wolves could lose one of their star player to Juventus amid the huge deal
Wolverhampton Wanderers could soon be fighting to keep hold of one of their most prized assets, as Italian giants Juventus step up their interest in Brazilian midfielder Andre. The Serie A side, now under the stewardship of Igor Tudor, are reportedly eager to secure the 22-year-old’s services before the close of the transfer window, with fresh reports suggesting a bold move may be on the horizon.
Juventus Eye Ambitious Move for Wolves’ Midfield Maestro
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have identified Andre as their top midfield target as they prepare for a critical new campaign. With Champions League football secured after finishing fourth last season, Juventus are now looking to reshape their squad, with Tudor aiming to put his stamp on the team following his mid-season arrival.
Andre, who joined Wolves from Brazilian side Fluminense in August 2024 for a fee believed to be in the region of £21 million, has caught the attention of European clubs with his impressive debut season in the Premier League. Now, the Old Lady are weighing up a formal offer, although finances remain a hurdle.
Wolves Set £43 Million Valuation Amid Juventus Interest
Italian outlet La Stampa reports that Wolves have slapped a €50 million (£43 million) price tag on the dynamic midfielder — a figure that could prove difficult for Juventus to meet without offloading several players. With the Serie A club already exploring potential sales to raise funds, it’s believed they may still launch a formal bid before the transfer deadline if they can clear space in the squad and balance the books.
Andre is currently at the top of Juventus’ midfield shortlist, but the Bianconeri are also monitoring alternatives, including Fulham’s Sander Berge, Sporting CP’s Morten Hjulmand, and Sofyan Amrabat of Fenerbahçe. Still, Tudor and the Juventus board appear determined to prioritize a move for the Wolves man.
Andre’s Premier League Rise: From Fluminense to Wolves Star
Andre’s rapid ascent in English football has taken many by surprise. Initially tipped to join Fulham last summer and previously linked with Liverpool following their failed moves for Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia, Andre instead ended up at Molineux in what has proven to be a shrewd piece of business for Wolves.
Though he required time to adjust to the rigors of Premier League football, Andre became one of Wolves’ standout performers. He made 36 appearances across all competitions last season — 33 of them in the league — and started 31 Premier League matches. His energy, composure, and aggressive ball-winning ability made him a key figure in midfield, particularly alongside compatriot João Gomes, with whom he struck a strong partnership.
In terms of defensive contributions, Andre ranked ninth in the Premier League for tackles made (91), with only Gomes (116) registering more for Wolves. His tenacity, vision, and calmness under pressure have made him indispensable to manager Vitor Pereira.
Wolves Face Transfer Dilemma Amid Summer Sales
Wolves’ financial hand may be forced once again this summer. The club has already seen left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri depart for Manchester City in a deal worth over £30 million, while striker Matheus Cunha was snapped up by Manchester United for £62.5 million after they triggered his release clause.
These high-profile exits have added pressure to Pereira’s reign, with the Portuguese boss keen to avoid further key departures as he looks to rebuild a squad capable of pushing for European places — or at the very least, solidifying their Premier League status.
Losing Andre would be a significant setback, both on and off the pitch. His performances have not only helped Wolves stabilize in midfield, but his market value has also soared. Should the club choose to cash in, it would reflect a massive profit in just one year — but also leave a gaping hole in the heart of the team.
Juventus’ Intentions Clear, Wolves’ Stance Unmoved — For Now
For now, Wolves remain hopeful of retaining Andre for the upcoming campaign. However, with Juventus actively planning player sales to fund the move and the lure of Champions League football dangling in front of the midfielder, the Midlands club may soon face mounting pressure.
Andre’s contract status and willingness to stay will likely play a decisive role in the coming weeks. Unless Wolves can offer renewed assurances of their ambition and long-term project under Pereira, Andre could be tempted by the allure of a new challenge in Italy.
What’s Next?
With the transfer deadline approaching and Juventus working behind the scenes to raise the necessary funds, this story looks far from over. Wolves fans will be watching closely, hoping their midfield general remains in gold and black — but fully aware that European giants are circling, ready to pounce.
