Vinicius Souza has left Sheffield United for Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in a deal reportedly worth €15million.

The Brazilian joined Sheffield United ahead of their 2023-24 Premier League campaign after an eye-catching loan spell with Espanyol, impressing despite the Blades' relegation.

He won 75 tackles that season, the most in the Premier League, with only then-Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha (152) and Wolves' Joao Gomes (128) attempting more than his 125.

Vinicius then played 35 times as Sheffield United narrowly missed out on a top-flight return last season, finishing third in the Championship and losing to Sunderland in the play-off final.

Following the Blades' failure to get back to the big time, they have sanctioned his move to Wolfsburg on a five-year contract.

The 26-year-old joins a Wolfsburg side that finished 11th in the German top flight in 2024-25. They open their new campaign against Heidenheim on August 23. 

United can confirm that an undisclosed fee has been agreed with Bundesliga outfit VfL Wolfsburg for the sale of Vinicius Souza.

Obrigado, Vini
