The Brazilian attracted significant interest, with Arsenal believed to be keen admirers, but he has now opened up on the decision to resist leaving Wolves mid-season, while suggesting a move could come this summer.
“I had a lot of offers but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it,” he told The Observer.
“Some things you can’t control but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.

The Italian arrives in north London as the permanent replacement for Edu, who resigned his post in November to take up a new challenge overseeing the growing portfolio of clubs under Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.

They were linked with a whole host of external names as well as Ayto, including the likes of Dan Ashworth, Roberto Olabe, Thiago Scuro and Tomas Rosicky before Berta emerged as the leading contender for the job earlier in March.
Real Madrid plot Bruno Fernandes move

Real Madrid are ready to make a £90million move for Fernandes which would give cash-strapped United a major dilemma.

According to the Daily Star, Fernandes has been identified as a top signing who could also be a potential successor to Luka Modric at the Bernabeu.
United manager Ruben Amorim does not want to lose his inspirational captain but United need to raise money and they would have to consider a big offer for him.
Chelsea identity Jules Kounde as top target
11:07 , Matt VerriJules Kounde is a key target for Chelsea this summer.
That’s according to Spanish outlet Sport, with it claimed that the Blues are prioritising a move for the Barcelona defender, who is out of contract in 2027.

Liverpool willing to sell Harvey Elliott this summer
Friday 28 March 2025 18:42Liverpool appear willing to move on from Harvey Elliott this summer.
The 21-year-old has made almost 150 appearances across all competitions since moving to Anfield from Fulham in 2019 and remains a popular figure among fans, despite having not started a single Premier League game this season.
Elliott’s dramatic late winning goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and his assist off the bench for Federico Chiesa in the Carabao Cup final has only increased the clamour among supporters for him to be handed more opportunities under Arne Slot.
However, Sky Sports now claim that Liverpool would accept a “good offer” for the England Under-21 international this summer.
Man Utd hand four-year deal to Bendito Mantato
Friday 28 March 2025 18:34Manchester United are reportedly set to hand a new contract to Bendito Mantato.
The versatile England Under-17 forward is highly-rated at Old Trafford and has shone at youth level so far this season, last month scoring an extra-time winner in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final win at Arsenal.
Fabrizio Romano now reports that Mantato will sign his first professional deal at United, penning terms for four years following talks with technical director Jason Wilcox and manager Ruben Amorim, who is said to be a big fan of the player.
Mantato was among the youngsters that trained with United’s first team at Carrington on Friday, along with Jim Thwaites, Godwill Kukonki and Reece Munro.

However, he adds at this stage that it is currently unclear as to who they will opt to pursue.
A new winger may also reportedly be on the way to Stamford Bridge this summer, depending on what happens with Mykhailo Mudryk.

Man United to spend £70m on Francisco Trincao
Friday 28 March 2025 18:21 , George FloodManchester United look set to lavish around £70m in their quest to sign Francisco Trincao this summer.
The Portuguese winger has emerged as a top target for Ruben Amorim, who is keen to reunite with a player whom he managed at both Sporting Lisbon and Braga.
Trincao has a £50m release clause in his current contract at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, but The Sun report that United may have to pay up to £70m due to Barcelona having had a huge 50 per cent sell-on clause inserted into the deal when they sold the former Wolves loanee to Sporting in 2023.
Liverpool handed new Milos Kerkez boost
Friday 28 March 2025 10:54 , George FloodLiverpool appear to have been handed a new boost in their long-running pursuit of Milos Kerkez.
Finding a new right-back to succeed the Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold looks to be the top transfer priority at Anfield at the moment, with talks said to be ongoing over Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong.
But the left side of defence also needs attention, with Kerkez long mentioned as the potential replacement for Andy Robertson amid his fine form for high-flying Bournemouth.
And while the 21-year-old - a friend and international team-mate of Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai with Hungary - is still focused on the Cherries ahead of their huge FA Cup quarter-final tie with Manchester City on Sunday, he seems open to a potential high-profile switch in the summer.
“As a kid, you dream to play at the highest level, win the trophies, be on the best teams,” Kerkez told The Athletic.
“These are the things that my agent is on. My dad is on. It is not something that they occupy me with because the season is still going, so there’s no point to talk about anything.
“There’s games left, the FA Cup is important for us — these are big things.
“And then, like I say, when someone comes (in for you) you never know what’s going to happen or where you’re going to end up. In the summer, we will see what happens.”

A summer of significant change lies ahead at Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim widely expected to overhaul his consistently underperforming squad.
However, he apparently needs to sell players before he can buy, with reports this week that at least 10 could be on the way out at the end of the current season.
Focus will then turn to new additions, with the Daily Mirror reporting that Amorim is keen to raid former club Sporting Lisbon for Portugal winger Trincao, who also played under his compatriot at Braga.
However, Arsenal and Newcastle have also been linked with the 25-year-old rated at around £30m, with Barcelona also inserting a buy-back clause in their deal to sell him to Sporting in 2023.

Tuesday 25 March 2025 11:23The biggest transfer news story of the day undoubtedly concerns Trent Alexander-Arnold, who looks to have finally agreed his high-profile summer move to Real Madrid.
Los Blancos have long since pursued a deal for the England right-back and had multiple bids snubbed in January before continuing their pursuit to line up a free transfer at the end of the season.
Real now look to have achieved the breakthrough with talkSPORT among the outlets reporting that Alexander-Arnold has sealed his massive move to the Bernabeu.
They claim the 26-year-old has agreed a mammoth five-year contract worth in excess of £220,000 per week.

The former Coventry striker is in huge demand after a prolific couple of years in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon in which he has scored 83 goals in just 91 appearances so far.
Most of the biggest clubs in Europe have been linked with Gyokeres in recent months in some form or another, though Arsenal and Manchester United - the latter managed by ex-Sporting boss Ruben Amorim - appear to be the two main suitors in the fierce battle for his signature as both seek major forward upgrades this summer.

Arsenal’s new incoming sporting director Andrea Berta previously signed Cunha for Atletico Madrid and really wants to bring both him and Martin Zubimendi to the Emirates Stadium this summer, per GIVEMESPORT.

Motta was only appointed last summer, having impressed at Bologna, but has lasted just nine months into a three-year contract.

Arsenal get Williams boost
Thursday 20 March 2025 14:24 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThis could be a massive boost for Arsenal.
Reports in Spain claim Barcelona's pursuit of Athletic Club's Nico Williams has no chance of being successful unless the Spain international is guaranteed a starting role.

Whereas at the Emirates Stadium, there's every chance he will get regular minutes next season.
