Wolves interest in Hoffenheim’s Joelinton confirmed
Wolves & Hoffenheim’s Joelinton
There’s a new name for Wolves fans to research on Thursday: Hoffenheim’s Brazilian striker Joelinton.
Joelinton is a 22-year-old striker, who scored seven goals and chipped in with five assists in 28 Bundesliga appearances last year.
Joelinton is under contract with Hoffenheim until 2022, having joined them from Rapid Vienna in 2018.
Joelinton’s transfer fee revealed
As confirmed by the Express & Star reporter Tim Spiers, Wolves are “big fans” of Joelinton.
However, for a player who cost Hoffenheim a little over a million euros, his current price tag is too high.
Wolves have been quoted between “£30m and £40m” for the South American forward.
That’s just too pricey for Wolves right now.
Told that Wolves are big fans of 22-year-old Brazilian striker Joelinton, but are being put off by the asking price. Reports range between £30m and £40m for the Hoffenheim player, who scored 11 times in 35 appearances last season. No bid made yet and unlikely to be one #wwfc

Wolves: Transfer targets
Wolves are looking to improve on their brilliant first season back in the Premier League.
They finished seventh in the league, and they qualified for this season’s Europa League.
Tim Spiers has confirmed that Wolves are looking to add “two or three quality first-team additions” before the close of the transfer window in less than a month’s time.
The priorities at Molinuex are to sign a defender and striker.
Recurring theme throughout the summer so far, being quoted over-inflated prices in a pretty slow market. Plan is still to bring in two or three quality first-team additions. Striker and centre half the priorities #wwfc
