Wolves revealed that Andre had penned fresh terms that would last until 2030, a deal that comes months after it was confirmed the side would drop back down to the Championship. 

Manager Rob Edwards spoke on the playmaker who signed for £18.5m back in 2024, revealing that he has become a pivotal part of the side since arriving 2 years ago. 

“Andre’s a great guy and is incredibly professional – he's a dream to work with. He’s grown into a leader and will continue to do that, the more he's around the football club. This is a big step for him, because he’ll be experienced in England and will know how important a player he is for us. 

 “He's an excellent footballer, technically he's really, really good. He's got really high potential, we’ve seen it in the Premier League, and it's exciting that we can have him in the Championship. We can't disrespect the level, because we know how difficult it is as well, but he's certainly going to look a good player. 

 “If your best players, the people that you want to keep around, are willing to stay and to fight, then it shows we're serious. Continuity is important, but we want people who want to be here as well, and Andre is showing is a real commitment.” 

The midfielder has played 74 times for Wolves since his arrival and will serve as a crucial part of the side next season as they attempt to forge a path back to the Premier League.
