It's clear that Wolverhampton Wanderers' priority this summer is to strengthen the foremost region of Gary O'Neil's playing squad, with stars such as Pedro Neto and Matheus Cunha linked with moves away.
The former, Neto, has attracted interest from Manchester City and Newcastle United in the build-up to the transfer window and is valued at £60m, though the stance on Cunha is cemented is more unequivocal, with the Brazilian stating that he is happy at Wolves too.
Wolves have agreed a five-year deal with Braga for 20-year-old winger Rodrigo Gomes, who is set to join Molineux for a €15m (£13m) fee after rival suitors Atletico Madrid were warded off.
While the Midlands club aren't the most lucrative outfit on the block, there's no question that O'Neil is eager to show ambition and build on last season's 14th-place Premier League finish, with a centre-forward also being targetted.
Wolves lining up new striker
According to Football Transfers, Wolves are considering reopening talks with Brazilian outfit Corinthians for striker Yuri Alberto as O'Neil continues to seek reinforcements for his frontline.
Che Adams has been widely reported to be closing in on a move to Molineux, out of contract with Southampton this month, but a long list of suitors are pushing to sign the 27-year-old, with Nottingham Forest alongside Wolves in the driving seat.
Wolves had been close to bringing Alberto, who is 23, to the Premier League back in January and thus established groundwork could see the player belatedly make the move this summer.
