AliousFabrizio Romano Fuels Wolves Exit Fears as ‘Sensational’ Star Switches Agents Ahead of Crucial Summer
As Wolves approach the end of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign with just two fixtures left, attentions are already shifting toward the summer transfer window—and a recent update from Fabrizio Romano has cast a shadow over the club’s hopes of retaining one of its standout performers.
New manager Vitor Pereira is preparing for a pivotal summer, expected to be full of both arrivals and departures. The club’s hierarchy, led by sporting director Matt Hobbs, will be under pressure to match Pereira’s ambitions and reshape the squad according to his vision. While the focus will be on bolstering key areas, fears are growing that Wolves may lose some of their most influential players in the process.
One such player is Rayan Ait-Nouri, whose future now appears even more uncertain after Romano reported that the 23-year-old Algerian full-back has recently changed his representation. The timing of the switch—right before the window opens—suggests a move could be imminent, especially with several top-six Premier League clubs reportedly circling. Romano also described Ait-Nouri as “one to watch” this summer, hinting that big developments could be on the horizon.
This update is concerning for Wolves fans, as Ait-Nouri has played a crucial role in their season. Despite the club’s efforts to negotiate a contract extension, the presence of high-profile suitors and his stellar form may push him toward an exit. Micah Richards, among others, has praised the defender’s performances, branding him “sensational” and one of the league’s best in his position.
Compounding the issue, star forward Matheus Cunha is also expected to depart in the summer. Between them, Cunha and Ait-Nouri have been directly involved in over 60% of Wolves’ goals in the current campaign—a staggering statistic that underscores their value to Pereira’s side. Losing both would represent a massive setback, particularly at a time when the club is trying to build under a new manager.
For Pereira, keeping hold of key talent is essential to avoid repeating past transfer missteps. While he has shown signs of being capable of elevating Wolves to a higher level, his success hinges on whether Fosun, the club’s owners, provide the financial backing and stability to support his vision.
Ultimately, the ball is now in the boardroom’s court. The summer window presents a chance to push forward—or risk another frustrating rebuild. And with Ait-Nouri’s agent change setting off alarm bells, the stakes just got even higher.
