Few bits from the Beeb this morning (two of three come from Blog-Esque websites that pretend to be actual media) :
*Manchester United have added Wolverhampton Wanderers' Ruben Neves, 24, to their list of transfer targets, with the Midlands club prepared to sell the Portugal midfielder. (90min)
*Wolves are poised to make a move for Valencia forward Goncalo Guedes, 24, and are considering offering 23-year-old Italian Patrick Cutrone, who is already on loan with the Spanish club, in a part-exchange for the Portugal striker. (Football Insider)
*Newcastle United are monitoring Wolves' 21-year-old English defender Dion Sanderson, who is on-loan with north-east rivals Sunderland. (Chronicle)

It seems Fosun are restructuring their commitment to Wolves, or could It be losing interest. Hope it's not all about making a profit on their investment. Otherwise there will be more Jota situations where players who have increased their value will be sold on to big clubs. So the likes of Neves, Jiminez, Neto and Traore, will be moved on to swell the coffers. Are Wolves now merely a feeder club for the big boys. Oh well it was good while it lasted.

Ray389, I don't think Jota was sold by Fosun just to swell the coffers. I think the fact that Jota wanted to leave had a big part in the move too.

I was toldmJota was sold for off-the-field antics. Could be idle gossip though and I always treated it as that.

When the league champions want to sign you you tend to listen I don't blame Jota and he has shown he can play at the level required keeping Firmino out of the team for a while
Wolves rarely sold to bigger clubs in the past only Lescott I think in the last 20 years so I see this as a sign we have some good players around.
