Wolverhampton Wanderers were active on transfer deadline day, with a late bid for right-back Bart van Rooij headlining the latest buzz. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked to 10 potential arrivals and 10 possible exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Angel Gomes. The latest updates on the most significant transfer rumours are detailed below.
Bart van Rooij
Wolverhampton Wanderers made a multi-million offer for FC Twente's Bart van Rooij on Monday, the final day of the English transfer window. FC Twente rejected the bid, and the club's technical director, Jan Streuer, explained they did not want to lose a key player at that time. Streuer described the offer as a very good amount, and it is not known if van Rooij, whose contract runs until mid-2028, was interested in the move.
Che Adams
On Monday, reports indicated that Wolves have been in talks with Torino for Che Adams, but due to an impending relegation, the club has instead opted for a player with considerable Championship experience. Earlier that day, the Daily Record reported that Adams was close to returning to the Premier League with Wolves, with a deal said to be close for the £8m-rated forward who wants a return to England.
Kalvin Phillips
Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering acquiring Kalvin Phillips, with their interest on Monday focused on a loan deal that would include an option to buy. Sources close to the situation indicated that City are willing to begin negotiations at approximately £10 million, with an acceptance that the fee could drop to facilitate a permanent transfer. The primary obstacle is Phillips’ salary of approximately £150,000-£165,000 per week, and City may need to subsidise a portion of his wages.
Emmanuel Agbadou
According to TRT Spor on Monday, Beşiktaş is nearing an agreement with Wolverhampton for the transfer of Emmanuel Agbadou. Separately, France-based L'equipe reported that Beşiktaş has reached an agreement with Wolverhampton for a transfer fee of 18 million euro.
