Wolverhampton Wanderers decreases a double contract of £ 28 million for Jhon Arias and Marc Pubill when Vitora Pereira improves preparations for his second season in Molineux.
Pereia’s transformation of wolves in the second half of last season was a moving story that went under the radar outside the city, with the mantra of “First the points, then the pints”. He is determined to end the club’s recent involvement with the descent, and Arias, the Colombia national player, will be the second new signing of the summer.

The attacker competes in Pereira’s redesign of the squad with Pubill, the right -back of Almería, with 19 million pounds Capture Fer López, when the preferred replacement for Nelson Semedo, who left the club. Wolves have made an offer for pools and hope that they can complete a transfer later this week.
The other priorities of the wolves are a left mirror, a striker and another central midfielder who competes with the excellent André and João Gomes. Pereira boosted his coaching team with the arrivals of Bruno Moura and Filipe Almeida. The talks about an improved contract are expected to begin next month, but he knows that more registration is required.
In a recurring topic in recent years, the beginning of the wolves in the summer was dominated by sales. Matheus Cunha came from Manchester United after his publication of £ 62.5 million, while Rayan Aït-Nouri came to Manchester City for a total fee of around £ 35 million, which brought more criticism of the owners Fosun.
Aït-Nouris £ 35 million sale unpopular
Cunha’s sale was not the hammer blas that many outsiders had perceived. He was undoubtedly a star, but it is a misunderstanding that the club was very concerned about the fact that he chose the Wolf’s player of the season. Every manager, including Pereira, criticized his lack of defensive running. There was an alarming statistics that he went more than any other player in the Premier League last season.

When he was punished with a four-game lock towards the end of the campaign, Wolves won three and pulled one of these games without him in the team. However, the sale of Aït-Nouri was not well received by many fans, especially at the price.

The Algeria international had a year in his contract, with the wolves had the opportunity to extend it by another 12 months, but the fee was lower than that of Liverpool to Bournemouth for Milos Kerkez.
It is assumed that wolves have had initial discussions with Aït-Nouri about a new deal, with Pereira lost only another guaranteed starter. Aït-Nouri, however, made it clear that, although he liked to have not signed a new contract, and the wolves did not intend to allow him to switch off his deal.
A more dynamic way to play
Semedo, the captain of the last season, also left the club after the end of his contract, but wolves do not intend to allow more top -class outlets. André and Gomes, their most important midfield pivots, are considered fundamental to Pereia’s game model and not for sale. Peripheral players will continue throughout the window, but the focus will now be on income.

Pereira wants his team to be stronger and more dynamic in attack and find new ways to unlock teams. Arias and López are clearly very different No. 10, which believes Pereira that they will make a difference. There were significant changes in front of the field.

Fosun has restructured her football operations, and sports director Matt Hobbs replaced by Domenico Teti as a renamed director of professional football. Teti was in Portugal in the training camp of last week in Portugal and already has an excellent relationship with Pereira from her time in Saudi -Arab Club Al Shabab.
It is assumed that Teti has impressed players and employees positively and increased the level of internal communication and cooperation. He is the management between all recruitment areas, leads to the negotiations and work on a number of goals. Fosun, the Chinese conglomerate, which has owned wolves since 2016, realizes that they made too many mistakes last season.

They kept head coach Gary O’Neil too long and finally vented him in December after only three wins in 26 league games. The club hierarchy also knows that the squad was not balanced after the summer transmission window. The lack of another middle of the half was a mistake before Yerson Mosquera’s seasonal injury at the end of September.

The financial position of the wolves remains stable and you will make a profit for the last season. The goal remains, and although there is no expectation that Fosun will suddenly increase the level of investment, the funds are made available for selected goals.
It is an assumption that the wolves of the wolves have been delivered in the mid -range fees in the past two or three years. Significations such as Gomes (12 million pounds), André (18.8 million GBP), Jorgen Strand Larsen (£ 25.6 million) and Emmanuel Agbadou (£ 15 million) perfectly encapulate the club’s business model.

The 27 -year -old Arias is a player that Pereira has admired from his time in Brazil for some time. The deal lasted a little longer than expected because the Club World Championship and Fluminense -Delayed Delivery delayed talks in the middle of a counter -reaction of its own fans.
The 21-year-old Lopez was initially pursued by Celta Vigo’s B team by Wolves’ regional coordinator in Spain. Senior representative took part in his debut in La Liga in December and then observed most of his games in the second half of last season. Pereira and wolves want motivated players who do not see the club as a quick springboard. Maybe that was a problem in the past.
Fosun also wants to implement a more balanced wage structure and feel that it has bloated in the last seasons. Cunha, Semedo and Pablo Sarabia earned more than £ 110,000 a week last season. Former players such as João Moutinho, Raúl Jiménez and Diego Costa were also paid for over £ 100,000 a week.

While Semedo was made a lucrative offer to stay it, wolves ideally want to move away from this salary level. At the moment, wolves have to build on the feel -good factor generated by Pereira and give it the tools for the season.
Since promoted teams that spend millions for new players, including Sunderland with an effort that has so far been over 100 million pounds, cannot afford to stand still or become complacent.
Pereira wants his team to aim in the middle of the middle and end their fears through brushes with the descent. Wolves fans would drink for this.
