Wolves are preparing for a big summer, with Vitor Pereira looking to kick on at Molineux.
Wolves will play in the Premier League once again in 2025/26, after securing their safety back in April.
Fans have been delighted with how things have gone in 2025, with Vitor Pereira changing the whole picture at Molineux after succeeding Gary O’Neil.
The Portuguese came in and got everyone pulling in the same direction, and has proven himself worthy of backing this summer.
Whether he gets that from Fosun remains to be seen.
After a brilliant impact, Pereira was among the nominees for Premier League manager of the season.
So hopefully, the owners will realise there is a chance for Wolves to bring back the good times and they back the manager.
But while fans expect money to be spent, Wolves will surely be on the lookout for those cheap deals and free transfers.
MORE WOLVES STORIES
And one player who’s now available on a free, is Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof.

Wolves have improved a lot defensively under Pereira.
It was perhaps the biggest issue he had to fix when he came in, and thankfully – with a lot of help from January signing Emmanuel Agbadou, he was able to do that.
But Wolves will likely be in the market for a new central defender or two this summer.
And Wolves were recently linked with a free swoop for Victor Lindelof of Manchester United.
The Sweden international has been linked with an exit from Old Trafford with his contract expiring in the summer.

And now, Fabrizio Romano has reported he’ll be going, with no extension on the cards.
He said: “Victor Lindelöf and Man United have decided to part ways at the end of the season.
“Decision made following meeting this week as Lindelöf has proposals from Italy and Spain, ready for new chapter. The Swedish defender will leave as free agent.”
Lindelof would be an untypical Wolves signing
So Lindelof will be moving on from United this summer after eight years at the club.
It will be fascinating to see if Wolves make an approach to the player, because he is not the profile of player Wolves tend to go for these days.
Lindelof turns 31 in July, and Wolves place more emphasis on signing younger players with potential to be sold for big profit.

This season, only six clubs have had a higher average player age than Wolves (26.4), so Molineux officials may want to bring that down. Koni De Winter is a centre-back target for Wolves who’s considerably younger and perhaps more in line with the recruitment model.
That said, Lindelof would cost nothing in terms of a transfer fee and has a wealth of experience playing in the English top-flight, so perhaps for these reasons he can’t be completely discounted.
