Wolves are already working on finding a replacement for exit-bound Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Losing Ait-Nouri is a blow for Wolves, particularly in the same window as bidding farewell to Matheus Cunha.
The pair were two of Wolves’ greatest goal-contributing assets over the 2024/25 campaign, making identifying their replacements a crucial task.
While Molineux News understands that Clement Bischoff is a target for Wolves, the Brondby starlet isn’t the only figure being eyed to replace Ait-Nouri on the left.

Vitor Pereira didn’t want to sell key players this summer, but only one week into the window, and two players already look to be out the door.
Despite losing the pair being a resounding shame, Wolves appear to be working proactively on a replacement for Ait-Nouri, with the Old Gold looking to repeat an old trick.
Wolves signed Nelson Semedo from Barcelona in 2020, and now, the West Midlands club are hoping to take talent from the Catalan giants again, this time through Gerard Martin.
Martin is a target for Wolves at left-back, and already, the Spanish champions have prepared in case the deal goes through.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are looking at signing Alejandro Grimaldo from Bayer Leverkusen should Wolves’ interest in Martin materialise.
The source confirmed that Barcelona won’t wait around to find a solution to potentially losing the 23-year-old, with Grimaldo being monitored amid building interest.
The Spanish outlet also noted exactly why Martin has ‘caught’ Wolves’ attention, lauding his ‘defensive prowess and tactical discipline’.
Martin rapidly impressed at Barcelona
It was only in 2023 that Martin signed for Barcelona’s development team, leading to him being promoted to the first team in 2024.
In his first taste of football at the highest level, the 23-year-old took no time to show his worth, contributing to seven goals from left-back.
The rising star’s strengths are exactly why he is emerging as a possible replacement for Ait-Nouri, being a talent capable of producing defensively and in the final third.
It remains to be seen how Wolves elevate their pursuit of the Spaniard, but it’s encouraging to learn that Barcelona are getting ahead.
