Wolves are bracing for a summer of change, with several stars likely to depart. Brazilian forward Cunha is one of the club’s most high-profile assets, and sources indicate he could be sold as he looks to take the next step in his career. Left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is also attracting interest, and his departure could boost the club’s transfer funds.

The plan is clear: Wolves want to reinvest the money generated from these sales into experienced and intelligent signings that will strengthen the squad without breaking the budget.

Sancho in focus at Wolves

Jadon Sancho has endured a tough spell at Chelsea, where his loan move from Manchester United has failed to reignite his career. With limited game time and inconsistent form, he has struggled to justify the expectations placed upon him. At 25, however, Sancho still has the potential to thrive in the right environment, and Wolves believe he could be a bargain addition to their squad.

Manchester United have no plans to reintegrate the former Borussia Dortmund star, and Chelsea are exploring options to either fulfil or terminate their obligation to buy, which is tied to their league position.

With the Blues considering a €6 million payment to escape the clause, a permanent move elsewhere becomes increasingly likely.

Wolves have emerged as a serious contender, believing they can secure Sancho for a reasonable fee that aligns with their summer budget. Given his struggles at Chelsea and the reluctance of key figures at United to welcome him back, a fresh start at Molineux could offer him the stability and playing time needed to revive his career.

This transfer has all the makings of a move that benefits everyone involved. Manchester United would offload a player they no longer want, Chelsea could move on from a failed loan deal, and Wolves would gain Sancho, a talented attacker at a cut-price fee.
