Wolverhampton Wanderers are poised to ramp up negotiations for a high-profile Premier League star as they brace for a potential summer shake-up.
With influential forward Matheus Cunha heavily linked with a big-money move to Manchester United, Wolves manager Vitor Pereira is already planning for life without the Brazilian by targeting a dynamic replacement.
The Midlands club is reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott, a two-time Premier League champion who, despite his young age of 22, boasts considerable top-flight experience.
Although Elliott was once a regular feature under Jurgen Klopp—who described him as an “incredible talent” upon his return from injury in 2022—he has seen his role diminish under new manager Arne Slot.
Wolves, sensing an opportunity, are now exploring the possibility of luring the versatile playmaker to Molineux.
According to *GiveMeSport*, Liverpool may be open to letting Elliott leave if their £50 million asking price is met, and Pereira sees him as the ideal candidate to inherit Cunha’s creative responsibilities.
Elliott’s potential arrival comes at a time of renewed optimism at Wolves.
Since Pereira’s appointment in December, he has revitalized a squad once flirting with relegation, guiding them into mid-table stability and even earning a nomination for Premier League Manager of the Season.
The Portuguese tactician’s down-to-earth connection with fans—symbolized by post-match pub visits—has only strengthened his rapport with the Wolves faithful.
With another key player potentially on the way out, this summer could prove decisive in shaping Wolves’ attacking identity for the next campaign. And if Pereira lands his £50m target, it might just be a masterstroke in the club’s ongoing evolution.
