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.
