Wolves fans are eagerly anticipating new signings, but it appears that one potential target may be on his way elsewhere.
While Wolves have been focused on selling or releasing players this summer, the arrival of Fer Lopez is imminent as he prepares for his medical at Molineux. Confirmation of the deal is expected later this week.
However, Wolves are also looking to add a new midfielder to their squad this summer, as the futures of Tommy Doyle and Boubacar Traore remain uncertain. Doyle is attracting interest from Sunderland and Wrexham, with many expecting him to leave the club.
Reports had linked Wolves to Gabriel Sara of Galatasaray earlier this year, but there are now suggestions that he could be headed to Manchester United instead. Sara has made a strong impression after just one season in Turkey, with Gala reportedly open to selling him for around £25 million.
Despite missing out on Sara, Wolves may not be too disappointed as midfield may not be a top priority for them this summer. With a focus on attacking players, midfield options like Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Marshall Munetsi could see more playing time.
However, former player Dave Edwards has recommended that Wolves consider adding an experienced midfielder like Joao Moutinho for depth and rotation. It remains to be seen what Wolves’ recruitment team will decide, but missing out on Sara may not have a major impact on their summer transfer plans.
