Reports have been circulating today claiming that Edwards has held discussions with the Wolves hierarchy about potentially succeeding Vitor Pereira.
However, senior Boro sources are adamant that is not the case, with the situation completely unchanged from the start of the week, when Edwards was first linked with the Wolves job.
The Boro boss has spent the last 24 hours preparing for his side’s weekend home game with Birmingham City and has not held any talks, either formal or informal, with the Wolves hierarchy.
Boro have not received any formal contact from Wolves requesting permission to speak to Edwards, and would not grant that permission even if it was requested.

Edwards signed a contract to the summer of 2028 when he took over from Michael Carrick in June and has made a strong start to his managerial career on Teesside, with his side sitting in third place in the Championship table after the opening 14 games of the season.
While the 42-year-old has strong links to Wolves, having represented the club as a player, Under-23s coach and interim boss, he has maintained all week that his sole focus is on his current job at the Riverside.
Boro officials remain confident he will remain in that job whatever Wolves decide to do with their managerial search in the next few days. Edwards has enjoyed his time on Teesside so far, and feels that he is still in the early stages of a long-term project that he hopes will feature promotion to the Premier League.
Under-21s head coach, James Collins, and Under-18s boss, Richard Walker, are taking charge of Wolves training, and now look like remaining in charge for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea. As things stand, the Midlands club are not expected to make a permanent appointment until the international break.
