Wolves contemplate a transfer decision valued at £50.4 million while Celtic and Rangers closely monitor the situation.
As the January transfer window looms, Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) are reportedly contemplating the prospect of parting ways with a substantial £50.4 million worth of talent, potentially involving the departure of two players. A focal point of this transfer discussion is Fabio Silva, Wolves’ record signing secured for £35 million from Porto in 2020. The 21-year-old Portuguese forward, limited to just 10 appearances this season, has garnered interest from clubs, including Scottish Premiership powerhouses Rangers and Celtic, despite their historically modest record transfer fees. Reports indicate that Wolves are open to offers for Silva, setting the stage for a potential transfer.
Both Old Firm rivals, Rangers and Celtic, are vying for Silva’s services, though the financial capacity of potential suitors could play a crucial role in securing a substantial return on Wolves’ investment. Silva, contracted until the summer of 2026, has accumulated 72 appearances for Wolves, contributing five goals and six assists during his tenure.
In addition to Silva, another player linked with a potential departure is Sasa Kalajdzic, who joined Wolves in the summer of 2022 for a reported fee of £15.4 million. The Austrian international endured an unfortunate start, suffering an ACL injury in his debut match. Despite making 13 appearances this season, tallying three goals and an assist, Kalajdzic has caught the attention of clubs in both the Premier League and Bundesliga, including Eintracht Frankfurt, who are reportedly considering a move for the striker.
Wolves, with a priority focus on strengthening their striker position in the transfer market, could see the exits of players like Kalajdzic and Silva as opportunities to make new additions. Matheus Cunha is highlighted as a player the club is seeking to move away from the striker role, underscoring the management’s determination to fortify that specific position. As the January window approaches, Wolves may find it necessary to offload players to create the necessary flexibility for potential inbound transfers and reinforce their squad for the upcoming challenges.
