Wolves Gear Up for Busy Transfer Window as Key Targets Emerge and Departures Loom

Wolves are preparing for an eventful summer transfer window, with new arrivals expected at Molineux and several players set to move on. Fans had hoped Archie Brown would be among the incoming signings, but the English fullback has opted for a move elsewhere.

Brown had been a top target for the club, sparking excitement among supporters over a potential deal. However, Fenerbahçe have secured his signature in a £6.5 million deal, beating competition from Wolves and AC Milan.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed the transfer on X (formerly Twitter), sharing Brown’s reasoning for choosing the Turkish side: “The deal was basically done with AC Milan. I was ready to go. But then, I got a call from the Fenerbahçe president overnight. That changed everything. The passion he showed, the vision… it made the decision clear. I knew I had to come to Fener.”

Meanwhile, Wolves have already seen significant squad changes, with Matheus Cunha departing for Manchester United and Fer Lopez arriving from Celta Vigo. As the squad undergoes pre-season training in Portugal, the club hopes to finalize more deals before returning to England ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.

Search for Aït-Nouri’s Replacement Continues

Brown had been considered a potential replacement for Rayan Aït-Nouri, who joined Manchester City after five influential years at Wolves—initially on loan before making a permanent impact. Aït-Nouri’s departure leaves a major void, given his contributions in both attack and defense.

Another option Wolves could explore is El Hadji Malick Diouf, a long-standing fan favorite who remains available from Slavia Prague despite interest from West Ham. His arrival would provide strong competition at left-back, especially with Hugo Bueno returning from his loan spell at Feyenoord.

With the transfer window in full swing, Wolves will need to act swiftly to reinforce their squad ahead of the new season.
