Braziliyanın “Palmeyras” klubu heyətini yeni futbolçu ilə gücləndirib.
Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, A Seriyası təmsilçisi “Vulverhempton”dan Con Ariası transfer edib. Bu barədə klubun mətbuat xidməti məlumat yayıb. 28 yaşlı vingerlə müqavilə 2029-cu ilin sonuna kimi nəzərdə tutulub.
Braziliya mətbuatının xəbərinə görə, “Palmeyras” Arias üçün 25 milyon avro ödəyəcək.
Wolves attacker Jhon Arias is now closing in on a move away from the club this month.
According to a report from Globo Esporte, the player has signed a pre-contract agreement with Palmeiras, and the two clubs are now preparing the final paperwork ahead of the move.
The 28-year-old Colombian attacker is now set to complete a €25 million move to the Brazilian club next week.
Jhon Arias needs a move
Arias has played 23 Premier League matches for Wolves this season, and he has scored just once. His form has been erratic, and it will be interesting to see if he can recapture his peak form with the Brazilian club. There is no doubt that he is a quality player and versatile enough to play in multiple roles. He can play as a centre forward or a wide player. He could be a very useful addition to Palmeiras if he regains his confidence.
Meanwhile, Wolves have also sanctioned the departure of Jorgen Strand Larsen.

They are at the bottom of the league table, and they are fighting to survive. Losing these players will only further weaken them. It will be interesting to see if they can miraculously escape relegation this season. As things stand, they are the favourites to go down.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly agreed to sell Jhon Arias back to Brazil, accepting a £21 million offer from Palmeiras despite the English transfer window already being closed.
According to GE Globo, this represents a rapid turnaround for a player who arrived in the Premier League with considerable expectations just months ago.
Arias joined Wolves last summer from Fluminense in a deal worth around £15 million, following a string of eye-catching performances at the FIFA Club World Cup.
His energy, creativity, and ability to influence matches had convinced Wolves that he could add a new dimension to their attacking play. However, the transition to English football has proved challenging.
Arias struggled to settle at Wolves
The 28-year-old has found it difficult to establish himself under head coach Rob Edwards, scoring just once in 23 Premier League appearances.
While his work rate and tactical flexibility have been appreciated, Arias has struggled to deliver consistent end product in the final third, a key reason Wolves initially moved for him.
In recent weeks, Edwards has increasingly deployed Arias in a deeper, box-to-box midfield role rather than as a forward, a tactical shift that further limited his attacking influence.

From Wolves’ perspective, the decision to accept Palmeiras’ offer is grounded in pragmatism.
Recouping £21 million, significantly more than the initial outlay, provides financial flexibility at a time when the club are reshaping their squad.
Although the Premier League window is closed, the Brazilian transfer window remains open until March 3, creating a narrow but valuable opportunity to conclude the deal.
Arias is already in negotiations over personal terms, and sources in Brazil expect the move to be formalised shortly.
A return home would place him in a familiar environment where his qualities are well understood and his confidence could be quickly restored.
Those funds were partly reinvested in reinforcements, with Adam Armstrong arriving, alongside the loan signing of Angel Gomes from Olympique de Marseille.
