Wolves Want to Sign ‘Electrifying Forward’ With ‘Blistering Pace’ set to leave this summer amid Matheus Cunha Manchester United exit link
Wolves Monitoring Argentine Talent Maher Carrizo Amidst Premier League Interest
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly tracking highly rated Argentine youngster Maher Carrizo, though they face stiff competition from several top Premier League sides.
According to journalist Martin Etcheverry of Secta Deportiva, Wolves are among a number of English clubs pursuing the 19-year-old, who has been making waves at Velez Sarsfield in Argentina.
Carrizo is regarded as a rising star in South American football.
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira is expected to bolster his attacking options this summer, especially with Matheus Cunha potentially joining Manchester United. While Carrizo may not yet be ready for a first-team role, the club has successfully developed young talents in similar deals in the past.
Premier League Rivals Also Interested
Carrizo’s contract includes a £13.6 million (€16 million) release clause, and Wolves will need to fend off interest from heavyweights like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United. City are believed to be particularly interested, having already held talks with his representatives, while the other clubs have also made contact.
The young forward’s current deal with Velez runs until December 2026.
Carrizo has impressed in the CONMEBOL Libertadores—South America’s top club competition—with four goals and an assist in five matches.
He’s also featured for Argentina’s U20 side, scoring twice in five appearances. Known for his speed, dribbling skills, and attacking flair, Carrizo is emerging as one of the continent’s most exciting prospects.
Wolves have frequently tapped into the South American talent pool, with recent signings like Brazilian midfielders Andre and Joao Gomes proving successful.
Carrizo, described as an “electrifying forward” with “blistering pace,” could be the next exciting addition.
