Santiago Bueno has joined Club America on loan for the season, and the Mexican side has an option to make the move permanent. The 27-year-old's playing time was expected to be limited due to a change in head coach, and he was an unused substitute in four Championship games. Technical director Matt Jackson said that due to the circumstances, this was their most difficult transfer of the window. Jackson stated that they were aware of open markets that might be suitable for Bueno after their deadline. He also stated that when they had too many players for the 25-man squad, Bueno was the one who was not included. Matt Jackson also stated that Bueno needs to play regular football for his international career, which was unlikely to be the case with them. He added that the best available option was found and that Bueno is joining a large club in Mexico in a competitive league that will be suitable for him.

Cesar Peixoto believes the decision to let Santiago Bueno leave was the correct decision for Wolves, as the defender joins Mexican side Club America on loan with an option to buy. Bueno had been left out of Wolves’ Championship squad after failing to secure a move while the English transfer window was open. Head coach Peixoto explained that Santiago Bueno was effectively not needed after both he and Ladislav Krejci remained at the club. Peixoto stated that they had to decide if Krejci or Santi would go, and since Krejci was staying, Santi had to leave.
