NafisaWolves are gearing up for a crucial summer, with Vitor Pereira aiming to build on his progress at Molineux.
Wolves will feature in the Premier League once again in 2025/26, having confirmed their survival back in April.
Supporters have been thrilled with how the year has unfolded, with Vitor Pereira transforming the entire outlook at Molineux after taking over from Gary O’Neil.
The Portuguese boss came in and united the squad, proving he deserves full support in the upcoming window.
Whether that backing comes from Fosun is still uncertain.
Following a superb turnaround, Pereira was among the contenders for Premier League Manager of the Season.
So ideally, the ownership will recognise the opportunity to restore success at Wolves and throw their support behind the manager.
But while fans anticipate investment, Wolves will undoubtedly be searching for bargain deals and free agents.
And one player who’s now on the market for free is Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof.
Wolves target Victor Lindelof to depart Manchester United:
Wolves have shown marked improvement at the back under Pereira.
It was arguably the most urgent issue he needed to resolve upon arrival, and thankfully – with significant help from January recruit Emmanuel Agbadou, he managed to address it.
Still, Wolves are expected to target one or two new centre-halves this summer.
And Wolves have recently been credited with interest in a free move for Victor Lindelof from Manchester United.
The Swedish international has been tipped to leave Old Trafford with his deal set to expire this summer.
And now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed he’ll be on his way, with no renewal planned.
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 unusual Wolves acquisition
So Lindelof is set to depart United this summer after eight years at the club.
It will be interesting to see if Wolves make a move, as he doesn’t quite fit the type of signing the club usually targets.
Lindelof turns 31 in July, and Wolves tend to focus on bringing in younger players who can be developed and sold on for significant return.
This season, only six Premier League sides had a higher average squad age than Wolves (26.4), so the Molineux hierarchy may look to lower that figure. Koni De Winter is another central defensive option who is much younger and perhaps aligns more closely with Wolves’ recruitment strategy.
That said, Lindelof would come without a transfer fee and brings extensive experience in the Premier League, so he can’t be ruled out entirely.
