Wolves failed to land defender Wallace this summer.

According to Corriere Dello Sport, agent Jorge Mendes is working hard to find a new club for Lazio defender Wallace after a move to Wolves collapsed.

Wallace, 24, spent two seasons on loan with Monaco before heading to Lazio in 2016, where he has been something of a squad player.

The Brazilian defender has made 66 appearances for Lazio in his three years with the club, and won the Coppa Italia trophy with Lazio in May.

This summer though, with Lazio signing Denis Vavro, Wallace has been expected to move on, but a move to Wolves fell through before the English transfer deadline.

Cittaceleste report that Wallace’s non-EU status was a problem for Wolves, meaning the move collapsed before the transfer deadline, leaving the defender to stay at Lazio.

It’s now claimed that agent Mendes – who works closely with Wolves – is now working to get Wallace a new club, with Valencia or even his former club Monaco targeted.

Wolves may be disappointed to have missed out, but having landed Real Madrid’s Jesus Vallejo on loan, the blow has certainly been cushioned.
