Fulham and Wolves have been named as new suitors for Brazilian wonderkid Breno Bidon. However, new background reporting shows clear alignment between Brazilian side Corinthians and the player’s camp on delaying any move until the summer at least.

According to ESPN, both Fulham and Wolves are keeping close tabs on the 20-year-old midfielder in recent weeks. The interest, however, has remained at a monitoring stage. No proposal followed, and nothing advanced beyond initial checks.

That lack of progress reflects Corinthians’ current stance. The club have not been impressed by the approaches made so far, which have come mainly from clubs seen as mid-level in the European market.

Inside the club, the view is that selling Bidon without proper planning could prove costly, both on the pitch and financially. There is no rush to negotiate, and the expectation is that stronger proposals will arrive later.
