Wolves agreed to a transfer agreement with Fluminense for Club World Cup star Jhon Arias.
Sources told ESPN, Fabrizio Romano and RCN Radio about the agreement Thursday. Fluminense is to receive $34.1 million for 90% of Arias’ rights.
The Colombian winger appeared in six games during Fluminense’s run to the Club World Cup semifinals, where they lost to eventual champions Chelsea. The 27-year-old winger logged a goal and assist at the tournament.
Arias, who joined Fluminense in 2021 from Colombia’s Santa Fe, totaled 47 goals and 55 assists over 229 total appearances for the Brazilian club.
Fluminense is set to face Cruzeiro on Thursday in Rio de Janeiro. The tricolor went 6-3-2 through their first 11 appearances this season in Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.
Wolves went 12-20-6 last season to finish 16th in the Premier League standings.
