The only addition Wolverhampton Wanderers made during the January transfer window was Emmanuel Agbadou, who joined from Rennes to increase Vitor Pereira’s defensive options.
Last week, it appeared as though the Old Golf was getting close to signing Manu Silva, but Benfica snatched the move at the last second.
Given the Molineux team’s vulnerable position near the bottom of the Premier League standings, the manager will be looking to add one or two more players before the winter window closes, which is in just over a week.
But more significantly, Wolves will be eager to hold onto a number of their most vital players for survival.
The left-back Though Matheus Cunha has many fans, Rayan Ait-Nouri is a player who draws attention anytime the window opens.
Losing the Brazilian at this point would most likely ensure a terrible few months ahead, as he has been one of the Old Gold’s few bright spots this season.
Wolves have to keep a hold of Matheus Cunha
Across 21 Premier League games for the Midlands side, Cunha has scored ten goals while registering four assists. Indeed, of the 32 top-flight goals Wolves have scored throughout 2024/25, Cunha has directly been involved in 44% of them.
This is enough to prove just how vital he is to their cause of remaining in the league, but Pereira will have a difficult job of convincing him, especially when there are far bigger clubs out there ready to stretch their financial muscles and make a big for the former Atlético Madrid man.
According to Sky Sports, Nottingham Forest are ready to launch a club-record bid to bring Cunha to the club, with the report also stating that Arsenal are another team who are considering making an offer.
A fee in the region of £60m could be enough to tempt Pereira to sell this month, although it doesn’t give him much time to sort out a replacement.
Having raked in over £90m last summer by selling Pedro Neto and Max Kilman, the club are not in a hurry to sell the centre-forward, despite the interest.
The £60k-per-week talisman will still be at the club unless something extraordinary happens in the next few days, which Pereira will do his best to avoid.
One player he should be actively looking to move on, however, is Fabio Silva, who is currently on loan at Las Palmas in Spain.
Wolves could sell Fabio Silva
TEAMtalk claims that Atletico Madrid is interested in acquiring Silva this summer and may try to negotiate a transfer agreement with Wolves.
Diego Simeone was impressed by Silva’s performance when Atletico upset Las Palmas earlier this season, and the team has been keeping an eye on him ever since.
