JUST NOW: Wolves Face Major Financial Hit on £35m Flop as Young Talent Eyed for Future



Wolves cruised to a 3-0 home victory against Leicester City over the weekend, with Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen, and Rodrigo Gomes each finding the net. With just four games left this season, the Midlands club is finishing strongly. 
  
Since stepping in for Gary O’Neil, head coach Vitor Pereira has significantly improved Wolves’ fortunes, steering the team well clear of relegation worries. With momentum firmly on their side, they’ll be eager to maintain this strong form through to the season’s conclusion. 

Fabio Silva’s Future in Question Amid Overseas Interest

Attention is beginning to turn toward Wolves’ summer plans, particularly regarding striker Fabio Silva. The Portuguese forward is due to return from his loan stint at Las Palmas ahead of pre-season, but his long-term future at Molineux remains uncertain. 

According to a fresh report from *La Provincia*, Silva is once again attracting suitors from overseas. Clubs including Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Stuttgart are reportedly monitoring his situation. 

Silva, now 22, joined Wolves in 2020 for a club-record fee of £35 million but has struggled to deliver on that hefty investment, scoring just five goals across 73 appearances in all competitions. Previous loan spells at Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven, and Rangers have also done little to solidify his place in the Wolves squad. With his contract running until June 2026, Wolves still hold some leverage but must decide whether to cut their losses with just over a year left on his deal. 

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone recently expressed admiration for Silva, telling *Ojogo*: *“Fabio is a hardworking player. He’s physically powerful and gives everything he has up front. Any coach would appreciate having someone like him.”*

## Rising Star Abdoulie Manneh on Wolves’ Radar

In a move signaling a potential shift towards future planning, Wolves have been linked with a transfer for promising Gambian forward Abdoulie Manneh. As reported by *Fotboll Transfers*, the club is showing interest in the 20-year-old ahead of the upcoming transfer window. 

Manneh, who represents Gambia internationally and already boasts two senior caps, currently plays for Swedish outfit Mjällby AIF, where he has impressed since his move to the Allsvenskan last year. 

Competition for his signature is expected to be fierce, with Olympiacos and MLS side FC Cincinnati also reportedly interested. Mjällby’s sporting director Hasse Larsson, speaking to *Fotbollskanalen*, commented on the interest: 
  
*”We’re in constant dialogue with the players. It ultimately depends on how both the team and individuals perform and which clubs come forward. No firm discussions have taken place yet.”* 
  
He continued: *“Of course, we consider offers, but if the right offer doesn’t come, we’re not obliged to sell. Ideally, we’d love to keep players like Manneh for a few more years, perhaps even extend their contracts, although realistically, that might be difficult. They’re excellent individuals who fit perfectly into Mjällby’s environment and seem happy here.”*
