Wolff has made no secret of the fact he would love to sign Verstappen as Lewis Hamilton’s replacement.
Verstappen, 26, is under contract at Red Bull until 2028.
But boss Christian Horner has said he will not stand in his way if he wants to quit.
Verstappen Sr has admitted they are considering the three-time champion’s options before the 2026 regulation change.
