Football FanCast brings you the latest Wolverhampton Wanderers transfer round-up.
In typical Wolves fashion, the club left any transfer dealings until the last minute in the January transfer window, which meant they failed on their main aim to get a striker in before the deadline. However, things weren’t made easy though, as FFP concerns heavily weighed on the shoulder of Gary O’Neil with Premier League giving Nottingham Forest and Everton a slap on the wrist.
Despite the lack of signings, Wolves have been in superb form under O’Neil of late, and even stand a chance of pushing for an unlikely European place from here on in.
Latest Wolves transfer rumours
According to former Wolves correspondent Tim Spiers, the Midlands club could look to sell Pedro Neto in the summer transfer window for around £60 million.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Wolves are showing an interest in signing Arsenal youngster Amario Cozier-Duberry.
Also, Fotbol Direkt claim that Wolves were ready to launch a late bid for Lucas Bergvall in the winter transfer window, but he had already given his word to Spurs so joined them.
Wolves 2023/24 transfers
This summer just gone was a bit of a nightmare if you’re a Wolves fan or Julien Lopetegui, as the threat of FFP and balancing out the books took the limelight.
The Midlands club did manage to sign Matheus Cunha after his loan spell last season, but they had to make plenty of sacrifices, as the likes of Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes and Nathan Collins all secured exits.

Wolves 2023/24 sales
Wolves managed to raise around £144 million in the last two transfer windows, which massively helped in their bid to escape any kind of punishment from the Premier League for FFP rules.
The most notable exits were the likes of Ruben Neves and Matheus Nunes, who had both grown to be important players at Molineux.
One other big departure was Conor Coady finally leaving after captaining the side to a number of successful seasons.
