Wolves Bid for Mexican as Messi Blocks Transfer
Wolverhampton Wanderers, commonly referred to as Wolves, are in pursuit of new attacking options this winter. Recently, the club targeted Mexican striker Germán Berterame from CF Monterrey. Reports from Plano Deportivo indicate that Wolves have made a formal offer for Berterame, but the specifics of this proposal have not been disclosed.
Wolves’ Interest in Germán Berterame
- Wolves are looking for attacking reinforcements due to injuries in their squad.
- Hwang Hee-chan was identified by Feyenoord as a potential target.
- CF Monterrey’s Germán Berterame has emerged as a key target for Wolves.
Rejection of Wolves’ Offer
Despite Wolves’ interest, Berterame has reportedly turned down their offer. The 27-year-old has opted to join Inter Miami CF instead. The pull of playing alongside Lionel Messi has proven decisive in his decision.
Messi’s Influence in the Transfer
Messi, the Argentine World Cup winner, made direct contact with Berterame. This approach from the soccer superstar was pivotal in convincing the Mexican striker to select the MLS team over the Premier League club. Reports suggest that Messi’s involvement also facilitated negotiations between Inter Miami and Monterrey.
Transfer Details
Inter Miami has reportedly finalized the acquisition of Berterame for around $15 million (€12.8 million). Monterrey will receive 70% of the transfer fee, while 30% is allocated to Berterame’s former clubs, which include:
- Atlético Madrid
- Atlético San Luis
- San Lorenzo
With Berterame opting for a move to Miami, Wolves must now explore alternative targets in their quest to strengthen their attacking lineup this window.
