# Wolves: Fans disappointed over failed pursuit of Carlos Vinicius

**Wolves fans were left annoyed and disappointed as they discovered their club had two substantially large bids rejected for Benfica centre-forward Carlos Vinicius.**

The 25-year-old has been [strongly linked](https://sportwitness.co.uk/portugal-huge-wolves-offer-remains-table-summer-transfer/) with a move to the Molineux this summer, but the Portuguese outfit [announced](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/carlos-vinicius-tottenham-transfer-announced-by-benfica-a4561441.html) that an agreement was in place between themselves and Tottenham Hotspur regarding a season-long loan move worth around €3m.

According to TVI24 (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-letting-striker-move-e3m-rejecting-two-big-offers-wolves/)), Wolves did try and get their man but offers of €45m (£40.7m) and €60m (£54.3m) were astoundingly rejected by the Liga NOS runners-up.

The report added that it was only after failing to sign Vinicius, Nuno Espirito Santo turned his attention to Porto’s Fabio Silva, who eventually agreed a move to the Premier League for a fee of £35.6m, as per [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54043470#:~:text=Wolves%20have%20broken%20their%20transfer,five%2Dyear%20deal%20at%20Molineux.).

Diogo Jota to Liverpool a few weeks ago, Wolves are at risk of being weaker in terms of strength in depth than they were before the summer transfer window opened, which has understandably upset many fans.

> What rubbish, if a 60m bid was rejected in January why would Wolves come back in last month with a lower offer?

> I very much doubt that Wolves would make a bid of €60m for a player? Either back in January or at anytime? It’s just not the way we do business?
