Tolu Arokodare is reportedly unsatisfied because a planned loan move to Torino did not happen. Genoa had also shown interest in the Nigerian striker. The situation worsened, and new coach Cesar Peixoto told Arokodare that he could not train with the Wolverhampton first team, which led to an incident in which the player refused to leave the pitch. After this, Wolves hired additional security to prevent the 25-year-old from entering the training center. Arokodare has been capped 10 times for Nigeria, is under contract with Wolves until June 2029, and scored three goals in 33 Premier League appearances last season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €20.00m. Ajax, Trabzonspor, and Fiorentina have also recently been linked with the forward. According to reports from July 2026, Fiorentina submitted a loan offer with a €22 million buy clause, and Trabzonspor proposed a similar deal with a €20 million option. A past verbal inquiry of €15 million from Besiktas had also been rejected.
