Wolves are facing a crucial week ahead as coach Vitor Pereira looks to secure more signings before their first Premier League game against Manchester City.
After finishing their pre-season without a single victory, fans are worried about the team’s prospects for the upcoming season. With only three new players joining the squad amid a significant exodus, concerns about the team’s performance are growing.
However, Pereira remains optimistic about adding more players to the squad before the transfer window closes, giving fans a glimmer of hope. One potential new signing that has been linked to Wolves is Matthis Abline, with agent Jorge Mendes reportedly pushing for a deal to be struck.
The restructuring of Wolves’ recruitment division earlier this summer may work in their favor, with Mendes and his team potentially playing a more significant role in player transfers. While a move for Abline from Nantes may be challenging due to the high asking price, Mendes’ involvement could help facilitate the deal.
Despite Nantes’ reported £43 million asking price for Abline, Wolves are unlikely to pay such a hefty fee for a 22-year-old player. Mendes will have to work his magic to negotiate a more reasonable price for the talented striker, who scored 11 goals in the previous season.
With Mendes’ influence, Wolves fans will be hoping for a positive outcome in their pursuit of Abline, as they look to strengthen their squad for the tough season ahead.
