The upcoming summer transfer period will be pivotal for Wolverhampton Wanderers as they aim to bolster their team and determine the next steps for several prominent players.
On the departure front, Matheus Cunha is set to exit Wolves, with multiple clubs vying to activate his £62.5 million release clause. The Brazilian standout has earned a transfer to a top-tier club, having consistently scored in double digits, including 15 goals across all competitions this season.
Manager Vitor Pereira might also face inquiries regarding other vital squad members like Andre, Joao Gomes, and Rayan Ait-Nouri, the latter already catching Tottenham’s eye.
Similarly, Fabio Silva, the in-form forward, has shared insights into his future with Wolves.
Initially joining Molineux in 2020 for a record fee as an 18-year-old, Silva struggled, managing only five goals in 72 outings. However, his current loan stint at Las Palmas in La Liga has been more promising, with eight goals in 20 matches.
Despite this upturn, Molineux News has indicated that Silva is poised to depart Wolves permanently after his loan ends.
Addressing his next move, Silva told the E&S after netting a goal for Portugal’s under-21 team against England at the Hawthorns, “I’m fully committed to Las Palmas right now.
My goal is to help them stay in Spain’s top flight and to support Portugal in the Euros. We’ll see what happens afterward.”
Regarding a potential transfer fee for Silva, Wolves fans are divided—some advocate for his sale, while others believe he should remain. With no clear stance from Pereira yet, Silva’s future remains uncertain.
As his contract nears its 2026 expiration, this summer may represent Wolves’ last opportunity to secure a transfer fee before he could leave for free.
Although they won’t recover the original £35 million investment, a fee in the £15 million to £20 million range appears reasonable, given his recent performances and young age of 22, which suggest he still has room to grow into his considerable potential.
