Wolves are now taking care of the final practical steps of Jhon Arias’ exit, with the transfer moving steadily towards official confirmation.
According to Globo Esporte, Arias is completing medical checks in England as part of the remaining formalities. The Colombian is expected to travel to Brazil next week, where he will present himself to Palmeiras. The clubs agreed a four-year contract as part of a deal valued at €25m (£21.5m).
Just yesterday Arias signed a pre-contract. That step settled personal terms and removed any uncertainty on the player’s side. As a result, Wolves and Palmeiras moved fully into the administrative phase of the operation and are now exchanging final documents.
Wolves can soon move on
Wolves have not yet released the official match-day list. Even so, Arias trained normally with the group throughout the week and remains available. In recent fixtures, he has alternated between starting and appearing from the bench. That pattern reflects the sporting uncertainty that eventually opened the door for his departure.
From Wolves’ perspective, the deal has now entered a clear transition phase. The agreement with Palmeiras is done, the player is completing medical checks, and the remaining steps relate to timing rather than negotiation.
Once this weekend’s fixture is completed, the expectation is that the process will move quickly towards full closure.
