Wolves will look to sell Goncalo Guedes, Fabio Silva and Daniel Podence to help raise transfer funds.

The club will try to offload the trio, who have been out on loan this season, permanently this summer before considering selling one of their stars.

Wolves are still working with a tight budget and raising money is key for Gary O’Neil’s summer business.

They will still be active in the market but extra money will allow O’Neil more scope to bring in new players.

Pedro Neto remains the biggest asset at Molineux and the club will demand £60m if they need to sell the Portugal international.

They are under no pressure to sell having raised around £136m by selling Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes, Conor Coady and Nathan Collins last summer.

In March, they reported a £67.2m loss for the financial year to 31 May 2023 but were within profit and sustainability regulations.

Guedes joined from Valencia for £27.5m two years ago but has failed to make an impact and has had two loan spells at Benfica while he spent this season at Villarreal.

Wolves signed striker Silva in a then club record deal worth £35m in 2020 but he has scored just five goals and spent time at Anderlecht and PSV before joining Rangers on loan in December.

Podence has made 105 appearances, scoring 16 times, and helped Wolves to the Europa League quarter finals in 2020 after joining from Olympiakos.

He signed a new contract until 2025, with the option for a further year, before returning to Olympiakos on loan in September.

Southampton’s Che Adams remains of interest, with the striker out of contract, and the Saints face Leeds in the Championship play-off final on Sunday.
