As the summer transfer window fast approaches, Vitor Pereira will be bracing himself for change within his Wolves squad.
Already, the squad looks different to the one that Gary O’Neil utilised, with Pereira sanctioning the exit of former captain Mario Lemina.
Lemina was Pereira’s first major sale as Wolves manager, which could become the first of many as plenty of players are attracting interest ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Matheus Cunha’s Wolves exit looks likely but that’s not the only transfer scenario the Old Gold must tend to, with one star now reported to have reached an agreement with another club.

Pablo Sarabia has reached an agreement with Sevilla
As well as those that Wolves can generate profit from, there are also players whose contracts will expire at the end of the season.
Nelson Semedo is wanted by Benfica, despite the understanding that Pereira wants the defender to stay, with Pablo Sarabia another star whose time at Molineux is ticking away.
It’s understood that Sarabia will leave Wolves due to him being one of the highest earners in the squad, and reports are now suggesting that his next destination has been decided.
According to Vamos Mi Sevilla, La Liga giants Sevilla have a ‘closed agreement’ with the Wolves attacker to return to his former club in the summer.

The Spanish outlet claims that sources close to Sarabia understand that his transfer has ‘already been agreed’, as the 32-year-old prepares to become a free agent.
It’s reported that there are two reasons why a deal is ‘feasible’ for the club and the player, stating that Sarabia being a free agent and the forward’s ‘desire’ to return to Sevilla are the driving forces behind a proposed transfer.
Sarabia continues to be used sporadically by Pereira, in what is set to be his final months as a Wolves player following his 2023 move from Paris Saint-Germain.
Vitor Pereira wants to see more from Sarabia
While Sarabia has split opinion with Wolves fans this season, the creative brilliance that the Spaniard can offer on his day will be missed when he does leave.
For now, Pereira will remain firm with his player, whom he has already demanded more from as Wolves continue to fight for Premier League safety.
Pereira called on Sarabia to compete within the squad to raise his performance level, asking for more from the former PSG ace and Goncalo Guedes.
“We need to bring players to compete and to get the best out of everyone. Pablo Sarabia and Goncalo Guedes, they know that they have other players to compete with them,” the Wolves manager said.
It appears that Pereira will only coach Sarabia for a fraction of his playing career, with the 32-year-old reportedly mapping out his future to pave the way back to Sevilla.
