Wolves have now, according to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, have contacted Fluminense and ‘requested information’ about the Colombian attacker.
Now Fluminense expect to see Wolves put in an official offer for Arias in the coming days.
While the Brazilian side would rather not sell the Colombian, there is an ‘informal understanding’ between the player and the club that they will listen to offers from Europe.
Fluminense have not yet set an asking price for Arias, who is making a move to England his priority.
Arias is under contract with Fluminense until the middle of 2028 and only recently penned a fresh deal.
