Wolves captured the headlines in the previous two transfer windows, splashing big money on clients of super-agent Jorge Mendes.
Championship outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers must consider swooping for another Gestifute star in Pizzi should they confirm their promotion back to the Premier League.
The Benfica midfielder is enjoying another fruitful year in his home nation. His side are currently five points behind FC Porto in the Primeira Liga and the 28-year-old ranks second for most league appearances this term.
With five goals and six assists in 25 appearances to his name, he would almost certainly thrive next to his deep-lying compatriot Ruben Neves.
Of the current Wolves alumni, only Barry Douglas matches Pizzi’s strong average of 1.8 key passes and 1.6 crosses per game, according to whoscored.com. His average rate of 64.3 passes per game is not only the best in the Primeira Liga, but an improvement on every Wolves player as it stands.
While a move for Gestifute stable-mate and FC Porto forward Tiquinho Soares also cannot be ruled out, Pizzi would bring in significant experience from the top-level, including nine caps for Portugal.
Currently valued at £18m according to transfermarkt.co.uk, Pizzi has the ability to appeal to plenty of teams in the current market.
Wolves and Jorge Mendes could utilise their strong relationship and combine forces again in the close season to bring Pizzi to Wolverhampton.
