Wolves’ Advantage in Bidon Chase
Wolves may have an edge over Arsenal in the pursuit of 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder Breno Bidon. Despite Arsenal’s potential to offer Champions League football and a better financial package, Wolves’ manager Vitor Pereira’s existing relationship with Bidon could be the deciding factor.
Pereira’s Trust
Bidon’s career took off at Corinthians under Pereira’s guidance, and the player has full trust in the Wolves boss. This prior relationship could give Wolves an advantage in securing Bidon’s signature, as the player may be more inclined to join a club where he already knows and respects the manager.
Growth Opportunity
Pereira can offer Bidon a place to grow and develop as a player, which might be more challenging for the youngster to achieve at Arsenal, given the presence of established midfielders and potential new signings like Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard.
Affordable Option
Wolves could sign Bidon for a relatively affordable £12.8m, despite his release clause of £85m. Corinthians may be willing to sell the youngster to generate funds, making him an attractive target for Wolves looking to strengthen their midfield.
Pereira’s Admiration
Bidon was described as Pereira’s favorite player during his time at Corinthians. The manager promoted Bidon to the first team, and the player has since made 70 senior appearances for the club. This admiration could work in Wolves’ favor as they pursue Bidon’s signature.
