Finance expert Stefan Borson has issued a stark warning to Wolves, cautioning the club to exercise prudence when it comes to their transfer dealings as they teeter on the brink of the profit and sustainability limit for another season. Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson shed light on the close call Wolves had with breaching the rules in the previous campaign and how they now find themselves in a precarious financial position once again.
Despite offloading Max Kilman to West Ham for a hefty £40million sum and seeing star player Pedro Neto depart for Chelsea in a £54million deal, Wolves are facing constraints in terms of their remaining transfer budget, which reportedly stands at just £20million. This limited financial leeway means that any further expenditures could result in a substantial £8million annual hit for the club, a scenario that Borson emphasized should be approached with extreme caution.
Borson elaborated on the challenges facing Wolves, pointing out their operating loss, hefty wage bill, and lack of European football as contributing factors to their financial tightrope. He underscored the need for the club to be mindful of the overall impact of any new signings, outlining the potential cost implications not only in terms of player amortization but also agent fees and incremental wage expenses. The expert’s analysis clearly indicates that Wolves are operating on a fine margin, with the £105million limit looming large and necessitating a judicious and meticulous approach to their financial management.
