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.
17. IN: Clement Bischoff
Linked as a potential replacement for Ait-Nouri, Bischoff has enjoyed a superb breakthrough season at Brondby, making 40 senior appearances across all competitions through 2024/25. Just like Ait-Nouri, Bischoff is an attacking-minded wing-back who could fit seamlessly into Pereira's structure. | Brondby FC (Brondby TV)
18. Rodrigo Gomes
Another option on the left, Rodrigo will probably see an increase in game time next campaign. It’s still unclear what his best role is but Pereira is bound to figure that out in due course. | Wolves via Getty Images
19. IN: Trai Hume
Further bolstering Wolves’ wing-back options could be Hume, who is of strong interest following his promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland. There’s competition from Everton and La Liga clubs, but Hume is a potential addition. | Getty Images
20. Andre
Now settled into a rhythm in the Premier League, Andre looks well worth the £21 million Wolves paid to sign him. There aren’t many better holding midfielders outside of the so-called ‘big six’. | Wolves via Getty Images
