Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly preparing a bid for Flamengo midfielder Evertton Araujo at the request of Vitor Pereira.
The Premier League outfit is looking to strengthen Pereira's squad this summer after surviving the drop this season. Neil Moxley reports that as many as nine players, including Manchester United-linked Matheus Cunha, could depart Molineux.
Mario Lemina left Wolves in January, and the Gabonese midfielder has yet to be properly replaced. Pereira could do with a midfield anchor and Araujo is proving to be a hit in the middle of the park at Flamengo.

Brazilian outlet Bolavip Brasil reports that Wolves are trying to seal a deal for Araujo and are offering £8.5m. This falls way short of the 22-year-old's release clause, which is believed to be £34m (€40m), but he's long been on the club's radar.
Pereira asked club officials to move for Araujo, with whom he had worked with during his time in charge of Flamengo. He handed the defensive midfielder two appearances in 2023 when he broke into the senior team.

Wolves aren't the only club interested, with Eintracht Frankfurt, Sevilla, Villarreal, and Getafe also being admirers. He has three years left on his contract but could be on the move this summer.
Araujo's stock has grown and he could follow in the footsteps of Andre by making the move to Molineux. His fellow Brazilian has become a star man for the Midlands outfit since joining from Fluminense in a £21m deal last summer.
