Wolves are described as frontrunners to sign a former Inter Milan starlet who Scottish giants Rangers attempted to get in January.
Wolves make transfer plans in preparation for Championship
The Old Gold are more than likely going down.
With 17 points from 31 Premier League games and just seven matches remaining, the maths have long since made their case.
Rob Edwards has been unable to arrest a slide that began before he arrived, and the summer overhaul now being planned at Molineux is one of the most significant the club has faced in years.
The scale of the rebuild is already becoming clear.
Nasser Djiga, the Burkina Faso centre-back brought in for £10m just over a year ago, could be sold for as little as £5m.
Joao Gomes and Andre are attracting Premier League attention that Wolves will almost certainly be powerless to resist if the offers are right.

Despite a recent upswing in form, Wolves and Rob Edwards are going to be relegated from the Premier League.
Players signed for top-flight football and the wages that come with it will need to either accept significant pay cuts or find moves elsewhere.
The wage bill that comes with being a Premier League side for several seasons simply cannot survive intact in the second tier.
But alongside the exits, Wolves are already thinking about who comes in.
One name sitting at the top of their recruitment list is a 21-year-old Dane who has been quietly turning heads in the Swedish Allsvenskan.
Wolves in pole position to sign Silas Andersen
TEAMtalk claim that Wolves have emerged as the frontrunners to sign BK Häcken midfielder Silas Andersen this summer.
The Copenhagen-born talent, who played in Inter Milan’s youth teams at one point, joined the Swedish side from FC Utrecht in January 2025 and wasted no time in establishing himself as one of the league’s standout central midfielders.
His game is built around physical authority, defensive intelligence and the ability to drive play forward with his passing — precisely the profile that suits a club looking to impose itself in the Championship and push for an immediate return to the top flight.
The interest is far from exclusive.
Rangers made enquiries in January, with Celtic also linked at the time.
Häcken held firm on both occasions, insisting on a fee in the region of £6m and above.
To further cement their position, the Swedish club tied Andersen to a new contract until 2029 in mid-March — a clear signal that they intend to extract maximum value from any departure.
Despite that fresh deal, the interest has not only continued but intensified, and Wolves have now established themselves as the club best placed to win the race for Andersen’s signature.
Häcken are now understood to want a club-record fee for the midfielder, potentially exceeding £9m, and they are under no pressure to accept anything below their valuation given the length of his new deal.
For Wolves, that represents a significant outlay for a club heading into the Championship, but it also reflects their broader philosophy of signing young talent at the right price rather than overpaying for established names.
The Old Firm clubs remain in the picture, and Champions League qualification would substantially boost both Celtic and Rangers’ ability to match whatever Wolves are prepared to offer.
For Andersen, the pull of regular European football or a path into the Premier League through the Championship will likely be central to his decision.
