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.

29. IN: Evann Guessand
Heavily linked with a move to Wolves, Guessand could be the perfect centre-forward to compete with Strand Larsen. Pereira wants another option up top and Guessand, the scorer of 12 Ligue 1 goals last term, could be signed for £24 million. | AFP via Getty Images
30. IN: Jorgen Strand Larsen
Rounding off the 2025/26 squad is Strand Larsen, who will officially be a permanent addition on July 1 after Wolves triggered the £25 million buy clause. The Norwegian scored a respectable 14 goals in his debut Premier League campaign. | Wolves via Getty Images
31. OUT: Rayan Ait-Nouri
Confirmed as a new Man City player, Ait-Nouri leaves Wolves with 157 appearances, 12 goals and 19 assists under his belt. His attacking presence down the left will be dearly missed. | Wolves via Getty Images
32. OUT: Craig Dawson
After a falling-out with Pereira, there was no way back for Dawson, who last played for Wolves on December 29. The veteran centre-back has now left following the expiry of his contract. | Getty Images
