Wolverhampton Wanderers have entered a crucial summer transfer window as Vitor Pereira seeks to maintain the newly-found momentum after losing several key players.
The Old Gold have said their farewells to Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, with the talismanic figures leaving for Manchester United and Manchester City in deals worth £62.5 million and £33 million respectively. It will be tough enough just replacing those two, but Wolves also have plenty of other work to do to ensure the squad is in a competitive place by the beginning of next season.
Wolves’ new technical director, Domenico Teti, will be working tirelessly with Pereira throughout the coming weeks to reach the best possible solutions in several important positions up and down the field. Wanderers have a decent budget to work with following the Cunha and Ait-Nouri sales but care must still be taken to ensure the club isn’t thrown into PSR pressure this time next year.
One big signing has already been made with 21-year-old winger Fer Lopez joining from Celta Vigo, but who else could come and who could go this summer? Well, so much is still up in the air but we here at Birmingham World have taken a deep dive into the likeliest sales and signings at Molineux. With that in mind, click through the pages to see how Wolves’ squad could shape up for the 2025/26 season – as well as explanations for each and every player listed.
13. IN: Thomas Kristensen
Wolves saw a £12 million bid rejected for Udinese's Kristensen in the winter and are reportedly reigniting their interest this summer. The Denmark international could add further depth to Pereira's defence. | Getty Images
14. Emmanuel Agbadou
What a signing this man has been. It’s quite astonishing how much of a difference one new player can make; Agbadou completely transformed Wolves’ defence when he joined. The Ivorian is worth every penny of the £16 million spent. | Getty Images
15. Toti Gomes
Revitalised under Pereira, Toti offers decent balance as the left-sided centre-back in a three. There’s still work to do for the Portuguese to become good enough to compete for higher league positions, but he’s been decent. | Getty Images
16. IN: Igor Julio
Pereira is eager to land a new left-footed centre-back to compete with Toti and Igor, who cost Brighton £17 million two years ago, has been linked. The Brazilian has been told he can leave the Seagulls. | Getty Images
