Bertrand Traoré
On Friday, it emerged that Wolverhampton has recently made inquiries about Burkina Faso international Bertrand Traoré, who is a free agent. The club reportedly appreciates the 30-year-old's profile, technical quality, and experience, which includes previous time in the Premier League. Talks are still at the initial contact and evaluation stage, with no agreement yet in place, though discussions could intensify in the coming days. However, there is other interest in the player. Africafoot reports that Juventus has recently entered the running, and also revealed that both Trabzonspor and Ajax Amsterdam are attentive to the winger's situation. Traoré, valued at €4.00m by Transfermarkt, has 86 caps and 21 goals for his country.
Mateus Mané
On Friday, it was reported that Brentford is one of several Premier League clubs to have made contact regarding Wolves' 18-year-old Portuguese winger, Mateus Mané. Other Premier League teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Everton, Brighton, and Newcastle United have also inquired about the teenager. TEAMtalk reported that long-term admirers Liverpool and Manchester United both held conversations about Mané. Liverpool reportedly made contact in the final days of the transfer window to explore a potential deal. However, Wolves insisted that the player was not available for transfer and refused to consider any possibility of him leaving. Sources informed TEAMtalk that Mané himself was not actively seeking a move but would have been open to it if Wolves had been willing to approve a transfer. The winger has a contract with the club until June 2029 and was the subject of a reported £35 million asking price in July 2026.
Harry Amass
On Monday, sources told Football Insider that Wolves have opened talks over a deal for Harry Amass as they look to sign the Manchester United defender on loan ahead of Burnley. The player has been permitted to leave United. Also on Monday, Pete O'Rourke reported that Wolves are interested in Amass, alongside Burnley, and that any potential move is likely to be a loan. The 19-year-old left-back has been considered a potential replacement for Hugo Bueno and was previously suggested to be available for £7m.
Ryan Giles
On Sunday, transfer reporter Pete O’Rourke stated that Wolverhampton Wanderers made a late offer to sign Hull City left-back Ryan Giles. Following this, Alex Crook added that Giles will be staying at Hull. The club's manager, Sergej Jakirovic, has publicly commented that they would only seriously consider allowing him to depart if an enormous offer arrived and the player himself requested the move, adding that Giles does not want to go. A day earlier, on Saturday, Pete O’Rourke had reported that both Wolves and West Ham had made offers for the 26-year-old.
Andrei Rațiu
According to a report from AS on Monday, Wolverhampton has a continued interest in Rayo Vallecano's Andrei Rațiu. The report states that last summer Wolverhampton made an 18 million euro offer for the player, but Rayo maintained its position and demanded the release clause. Previously, after the 18 million euro offer was submitted, Rayo Vallecano responded by referring to the player's 25 million euro release clause. The 27-year-old Romanian international is under contract until 2030 and has also been linked with FC Barcelona.
