Vitor Pereira personally wants to sign 15-goal ace to Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers could be set for a significant attacking boost in the January transfer window, with reports suggesting that manager Vitor Pereira is pushing hard to bring Yuri Alberto to Molineux.

The Brazilian forward, currently starring for Corinthians, has caught the attention of the Wolves boss, who is keen to strengthen his attacking options in a side that has struggled for goals in the Premier League this season.

With Pereira’s personal interest driving the pursuit, the 24-year-old could soon find himself at the heart of a revamped Wolves frontline.

According to reports from South America, relayed by Sport Witness, Pereira has personally requested that the Wolves hierarchy make a move for Alberto.

The manager believes the Brazil international has the qualities needed to inject clinical finishing to his attack.

Alberto’s performances in Brazil speak for themselves. Across the current campaign, he has registered 15 goals and two assists in 45 appearances.

This isn’t the first time Wolves have shown interest in the forward. Back in 2024, the club made a loan approach with an option to buy, though the deal ultimately fell through.
