The intriguing Wolves transfer clauses - according to FM24 as PSG, Leicester and West Ham deals detailed

Wolves didn't have too busy of a winter transfer window but Football Manager has tried to represent the real life situation at Molineux.

Wolves' 2023/24 winter transfer window wasn't too busy for them despite Gary O'Neil's desire for a striker.

The club signed Fletcher Holman but he was seen as a signing for the future after joining from Eastbourne Borough. Noha Lemina joined brother Mario on a loan deal from PSG, and he's so far been amongst the bench for two Premier League matches.

Fabio Silva was allowed to leave for Scottish Premiership giants Rangers just before the New Year and he was followed out of the door by Sasa Kalajdic. The Austrian forward has unfortunately suffered a serious injury whilst playing for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Elsewhere, Luke Cundle was recalled from Plymouth Argyle and loaned to Stoke City. Other deals included Dexter Lembikisa going to Hearts, Goncalo Guedes joining Villarreal along with Yerson Mosquera, whilst Joe Hodge headed to QPR and Nigel Lonwijk linked up with Wycombe Wanderers.

Football Manager 2024 earlier this month published an update which has tried to reflect the real world as much as it can. The latest edition of Sports Interactive's popular game came in November and having put countless of hours in, those who have it, can now play with updated squads, managers and reflect points deductions such as Everton's.

Here are the clauses FM24 predicts could be in the contracts of current and former Wolves players - these are predictions from the game and not necessarily facts. (Please note that Football Manager 2024 is a football management simulation game and their figures may not reflect the real life situation).
