Alious**”Wolves U-Turn? Vitor Pereira’s Big Claim on Goncalo Guedes Will Surprise Fans!”**
Wolves saw the January transfer window close with several key changes to Vitor Pereira’s squad. The club offloaded players who were looking for exits, including Mario Lemina’s switch to Galatasaray and Luke Cundle’s £1m move to Millwall. Meanwhile, three new additions—Emmanuel Agbadou, Nasser Djiga, and Marshall Munetsi—strengthened the team.
While Wolves fans welcomed these reinforcements, speculation remains over potential summer departures. Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause could attract major suitors, and Nelson Semedo is approaching the end of his contract. However, one player many expected to leave in January might now have a future at Molineux.
### **Gonçalo Guedes Set for Wolves Stay? Pereira’s Surprise Update**
Gonçalo Guedes appeared to be on his way out after struggling under Gary O’Neil, starting just once in the Premier League before Pereira’s arrival. A return to Villarreal seemed likely, but the 28-year-old has since enjoyed a resurgence. Under Pereira, he has started five of Wolves’ last eight league games, and the speculation surrounding his exit has cooled.
Speaking about Guedes, Pereira offered a positive update:
**“He’s very happy. He’s laughing every time,”** the Wolves boss said via E&S. **“I think it’s the energy. The energy in the air—it’s not love in the air, but it’s the energy in the air.”**
The Portuguese forward’s recent form hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Micah Richards praising his impact in Wolves’ FA Cup victory over Blackburn.
### **Pereira: Guedes Has Game-Changing Ability**
Although Guedes has only contributed one goal and one assist under Pereira, the manager believes he has the qualities to be a decisive player.
**“Guedes has the skills to decide a game in seconds,”** Pereira stated. **“He’s a scorer. His finishing is very good, he has the power to run with the ball, dribble, and accelerate the game. He knows the spaces to be in and how to find them.”**
However, Pereira also pointed out areas for improvement, emphasizing the need for better tactical awareness and defensive contributions.
**“He needs to be more focused tactically and help the team when defending,”** he added. **“He must understand when to take risks and when not to. It’s not easy to adapt to the Premier League immediately, but right now, he’s an important player for us.”**
With Pereira’s backing, Guedes might finally prove his worth at Wolves, defying expectations of a January departure. Could he be a key figure in the club’s future? Fans will be eager to see how his role evolves in the coming months.
