Jorge Strand Larsen joined on loan in the summer, and Wolves will be hoping he enjoys a better temporary move than some of the previous signings who have joined on loan in the past, most notably Trincao.

Trincao’s Wolves’ statistics

In the summer of 2021, the Old Gold signed the Barcelona winger on a season-long loan with the option to buy if he performed well.

Trincao showed glimpses of his ability at the Midlands team, scoring three goals in thirty games, but it was obvious Bruno Lage wasn’t going to stay.

Due to a stipulation in the loan agreement, Wolves had to pay the La Liga team £5 million in order to avoid making the deal permanent. This was an odd quirk in the arrangement.

Since then, he has joined Sporting CP and, as of this writing, has scored 26 goals in 108 games. He didn’t quite fit in at Molineux, and the team had the option of signing someone else that summer. Rafael Leao is a footballer who is now performing for AC Milan.

Wolves missed out on signing Rafael Leao in 2021

Prior to the 2021–2022 season, rumors circulated that Wolves were monitoring the winger since it seemed Milan would allow him to leave for the right amount. Negotiations had even been held with the player’s representative, Jorge Mendes, regarding a possible agreement.

Leao has now developed into one of the best attacking players on the continent, therefore the club definitely lost out on this opportunity.

Since the 2021–22 season started, the 25-year-old boasts an incredible record of 46 goals and 44 assists in 143 games in all competitions.

The winger, who was once dubbed “unstoppable” by Milan great Fabio Capello, has excelled during his time in Italy, frequently showcasing his skills for the Serie A team.

The winger is presently valued at an astonishing €90 million (£75 million), according to Transfermarkt. This means Wolves won’t be able to entice him to the Midlands at this point.
