Wolves defender, Hugo Bueno, is expected to make a return to Molineux in the upcoming summer after a successful stint at Feyenoord on loan.
Many were surprised when Bueno left Wolves on loan last summer, approved by Gary O’Neil. However, it has become clear that O’Neil’s decision was the correct one, as Bueno has excelled at Feyenoord.
Now, with Vitor Pereira at the helm, the situation concerning Bueno’s future is intriguing, especially with competition intensifying in the West Midlands.
Robin van Persie has a plan to extend Bueno’s tenure at Feyenoord. While the Spaniard is predicted to compete with Rodrigo Gomes upon his return to Wolves, a new transfer update suggests a different story.
Speculation about Rayan Ait-Nouri leaving Wolves in the summer has arisen, but recent reports indicate that he may actually stay. Wolves are looking to offer Ait-Nouri a new contract, impacting Bueno’s future. Additionally, there are plans in the Netherlands involving Bueno in a transfer strategy.
It has been revealed that Robin van Persie is keen to retain Bueno at Feyenoord, as Dutch journalist Valentijn Driessen discussed on the De Telegraaf podcast, Kick-off. Driessen believes Van Persie wants Bueno to stay and has favored him over another full-back, Quilindschy Hartman, to persuade Bueno to consider a return for another season.
The future of Bueno at Wolves remains uncertain. As Bueno has impressed at Champions League level this season, his value has surely risen, which could benefit Wolves in the long run.
Deciding whether to send Bueno back on loan to further increase his value or to keep him at Molineux is a conundrum. Pereira has yet to evaluate Bueno personally, providing him with a reason to reject Van Persie’s plan to extend the fullback’s loan.
The potential departure of Ait-Nouri in the summer transfer window may play a crucial role in determining Bueno’s future at Wolves. If Ait-Nouri leaves, Bueno may be more likely to remain at the club.
