A report has claimed that Wolves have made three of their players available for transfer this summer.
It has been a productive start to the window so far for Wanderers, which has been somewhat surprising.
Wolves don’t tend to get their business done early, and so far, Tommy Doyle, Rodrigo Gomes and Pedro Lima have joined the club. In the case of Doyle, he turned his loan move from City permanent. Lima is to join the club on July 1 with an agreement in place.
There continues to be a lot of speculation about Wolves players.
At the moment, Max Kilman is the player with most gossip column inches, with at least four Premier League clubs looking at signing him. Wolves want £45 million, with West Ham United and Newcastle United both seeing bids rejected.
He is not a player Wolves particularly want to offload.
But a recent report has suggested three players the club are keen to ship out.
The three Wolves players who have been made available for transfer
At this point, it is anyone’s guess who will actually leave the club this summer.
A host of names have been linked with an exit, with Pedro Neto and Payan Ait-Nouri having been the players initially attracting the most attention just after the 2023/24 season had finished.
The Telegraph reported recently about West Ham making a bid for Kilman.
And in their report, they wrote that three players have been made available for transfer by Wolves – and all three spent time away from the club on loan last season.
Wolves will apparently hear offers for Daniel Podence, Goncalo Guedes and Sasa Kalajdzic.
Podence had a terrific season on loan at Olympiacos as he got 28 goal involvements and won the Europa Conference League.
But 2023/24 wasn’t quite so good for Guedes and Kalajdzic. Guedes started the campaign on loan at Benfica, but struggled for minutes and then went to Villarreal.
Kalajdzic went on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt, but suffered an ACL injury just a few games in – the third of his career and second as a Wolves-owned player. He is set to be out of action until later this year.
Wolves would be right to offload all three
Wolves are right to have transfer-listed these three players.
Podence would have plenty to offer Wolves, and we have all see how talented he is and how he has come in clutch for the club. But ultimately, he doesn’t want to return, having expressed publicly that he felt Wolves didn’t want him.
Guedes – who cost Wolves £27.5 million – also doesn’t want to be at the club and seemingly never did from the start.
Players like this must be offloaded, even if they have things to offer.
It was a great shame that Kalajdzic suffered another ACL injury. His signing certainly looks a strange one, considering he suffered one at Stuttgart before his two at Wolves.
That said, Gary O’Neil clearly didn’t fancy him too much when he was at Wolves for the first half of last season, so again, the club are right to transfer-list him.
The club aren’t likely to rake in a fortune for the trio, but getting their high wages off the books is also important here.
