Wolves discover FFP fate as Premier League spending details emerge

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly set to avoid sanctions from the Premier League after falling on the correct side of the profit and sustainability rules. Gary O'Neil's side have had to tread very carefully in the last two transfer windows in the fear of overstepping the mark.

Clubs in the English top flight can lose a maximum of £105 million over a rolling three-season period, while a net £35 million can be lost each campaign. BBC Sport reports the Old Gold believe they have done enough to remain in line with these strict spending restrictions, with a net profit of £82.98 million from player trading saving them. Significant losses have been made elsewhere but transfers have helped enough.

Clauses from the sale of Diogo Jota to Liverpool in 2020 have increased that deal to £50 million, while Matheus Nunes moved to Manchester City for £53 million in September 2023. Ruben Neves to Al-Hilal for £50 million, Morgan Gibbs-White to Nottingham Forest for £35 million and Nathan Collins to Brentford for £25 million are among other expensive departures.

Fellow Premier League teams Everton and Nottingham Forest have been under immense scrutiny for their finances over recent months. The Toffees were handed a 10-point deduction for breaching rules before seeing that punishment reduced to six points following an appeal. Forest, meanwhile, are still under investigation. Everton could also face further sanctions.
