Wolves are set to complete a major deal nearly 48 hours after the winter transfer window closed. Manager Vitor Pereira has been busy since January, securing three new players for the team.
The first signing was Emmanuel Agbadou from Stade de Reims for £16.6 million. The 27-year-old Ivory Coast international has quickly adapted to the Premier League, playing full matches in Wolves’ last four games.
On transfer deadline day, Wolves also secured Marshall Munetsi from Reims for about £17 million and Nasser Djiga from Red Star Belgrade for £10 million.
Munetsi, a mainstay in Reims’ lineup for five seasons, was recently named man of the match in a draw against PSG. Djiga, at just 22, has shown promise having played every minute for Red Star in the Champions League.
Beyond new signings, Wolves managed to keep their key player, Matheus Cunha, by offering him a new contract despite interest from top clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United.
His deal includes a release clause effective from this summer, but securing him for the rest of the season was crucial for Wolves, particularly in their fight against relegation.
Meanwhile, the transfer window in England might be closed, but Wolves still have business pending. Mario Lemina, once the team’s captain, is expected to move to Galatasaray for £2.5 million.
With the Turkish transfer window open until February 11, there’s still time to finalize this transfer.
Lemina’s departure comes after a fallout with the club, following his refusal to play and subsequent apology, which has somewhat soured his previously strong relationship with the fans.
