Wolves transfer news
Molineux have welcomed a much-needed new face this month in the form of Emmanuel Agbadou, who should provide a new head coach immediately Victor Pereira The defense was improved given Wolves’ lack of options in this area.

In this regard, such as Renato Vega Already mentioned in Chelsea’s impressive arrival. However, it remains to be seen whether the Blues are willing to offload the versatile defender. However, given that Mario Lemina is set to leave the Midlands for Saudi Arabia, Wolves could certainly exploit his ability to move into midfield.
Of course, failing to sign Vega won’t simply stop Wolves moving forward if Lemina leaves, and another potential replacement appears to have emerged this month.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Wolves have now submitted a £10m offer to sign Manu From Portuguese side Vitoria Guimarães, a deal is underway. Only 23 years old, Manu is a controlling defensive midfielder. Manu, who joined from the Portuguese Serie A, is somewhat similar to Ruben Neves, who joined from Porto many years ago.
If Manu and Neves come close, Wolves will be in for a treat if they can agree any deal before the end of the month. Even with their former midfielder now written into the Molineux history books following a move to Saudi Arabia in 2023, Manu, now in the Midlands, could see a similar rise.
Manu could follow Neves’ path to success
When Wolves signed young Neves from Porto in 2017, it was seen as a major coup – and it was. The midfielder was ready for the top flight but Wolves managed to lure him in and benefited almost immediately. As a result, his departure was always going to hurt, leaving Wolves in dire need of a technical player to bless Pereira’s midfield, and that’s exactly what Manu can do.
The Vitoria star can play in both defensive midfield and centre-back, providing Pereira with another solution alongside Agbadu. In the meantime, he could become a natural replacement for the departed Mario Lemina and find himself in the middle of the park next to the likes of Joao Gomez or Andre.
Breaking the Brazilian partnership in Wolves’ midfield could be a tall order for Manu, but the competition will only benefit Pereira’s side as their bid to avoid Premier League relegation intensifies The more intense.
