Wolves salary offer below current deal – Player still wants the move
by Pedro Reinert · Sport WitnessJhon Arias remains determined to complete a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers despite the Premier League side offering a lower salary than what he currently earns at Fluminense, according to Globo Esporte.
The Brazilian outlet reports that the Colombian winger is willing to accept a pay cut in order to fulfil his ambition of playing in England.
The exact figures have not been revealed, but the offer from Wolves is described as significantly lower than his current earnings in Brazil.
Arias became the highest-paid player at Fluminense in February, when he signed a new contract with the club. At the time, as Globo Esporte reported, the Rio de Janeiro side handed him one of the biggest deals in their history, with monthly wages surpassing R$ 1.3 million — over £200,000 at current exchange rates. Still, he is prepared to make financial sacrifices to pursue a European move.
Talks between the clubs are ongoing, and while no agreement has been reached, Arias’ desire to leave could be decisive in how the situation unfolds.
