Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to part ways with forward Gon\u00e7alo Guedes, with Real Sociedad agreeing a permanent deal for the Portuguese international. As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, the agreement will see Wolves receive an initial \u00a33.4 million fee, with a further \u00a31.7 million in potential add-ons. The move is said to be in its final stages, with only formalities left before completion.<\/p>\n

Gon\u00e7alo Guedes Agrees Move Away From Wolves<\/h2>\n

Mixed Spell At Molineux<\/h3>\n

Guedes arrived at Wolves in the summer of 2022 from Valencia for a fee of \u00a327.5 million and was described as a “high-level footballer<\/a>“, but struggled to adapt in the Premier League, where he only made limited appearances and was loaned out to Benfica within six months. Guedes was to spend the 2023\/24 season on loan at Benfica, but this loan was terminated in January, and he spent the remainder of the season back on loan with Villarreal.<\/p>\n

He returned to Wolves for the 24\/25 term, and despite flashes of his ability, he was unable to secure a starting role under successive managers, and has reportedly not been included in V\u00edtor Pereira’s<\/a> current squad planning. The transfer brings an end to a three-year stay in Old Gold, a stay that never really took off with Guedes only making 33 appearances and scoring five goals, and now the door is open for both club and player to move on.<\/p>\n

Space For New Additions<\/h3>\n

Wolves’ sale of Guedes will free up wages, with him being one of the highest earners in the squad at \u00a390,000 a week. The transfer will also free up a senior spot in the squad during the final few weeks of the summer transfer window. Pereira is expected to target reinforcements in the attacking area, with F\u00e1bio Silva<\/a> also heavily linked with a move away from the West Midlands club.<\/p>\n

With Real Sociedad hoping for a stronger finish than last season after missing out on Europe, the move offers Guedes the chance to rediscover form in a league he knows well, while Wolves can continue their summer rebuild in pursuit of a balanced and competitive squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
