During Nuno Espirito Santo’s time at Molineux, Wolves experienced both triumphs and tribulations in the transfer market. As Gary O’Neil now navigates a challenging Premier League campaign, fans may find themselves reminiscing about the club’s Europa League adventures under the guidance of the current Nottingham Forest manager. With the help of super-agent Jorge Mendes, iconic players like Rui Patricio, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, and Diogo Jota were brought to Wolves.
However, not all transfers were a success. One glaring example is Patrick Cutrone, who arrived at Wolves with high expectations and a hefty price tag from AC Milan. Despite initial excitement, Cutrone failed to make a significant impact in the Premier League, leading to loan spells and eventually a permanent move to Como in Serie A.
Cutrone has since revitalized his career in Italy, outscoring top strikers like Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez. While his resurgence may highlight missed potential at Wolves, it is clear that parting ways was ultimately the best decision for both parties.
