The latest transfer news includes João Gomes nearing a Wolves exit, Nottingham Forest targeting Wolves talent, and Aston Villa refusing to sell Youri Tielemans.
The domestic season is over in the EFL, while the Premier League campaign approaches its conclusion, and transfer speculation is already accelerating across England.
Several Midlands clubs are preparing for a busy summer window filled with major decisions.
João Gomes edging closer to Wolves exit
Wolves appear increasingly likely to lose midfielder João Gomes, who continues attracting strong interest from Atletico Madrid.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move away for weeks, and reports suggest negotiations are already advanced.
Wolves are expected to receive around £39 million for the midfielder, with Spanish sources claiming only minor details remain before the transfer is finalized.
Wolves could benefit from Chiquinho deal
Wolves could also receive unexpected income through a sell-on clause involving former winger Chiquinho.
The Portuguese attacker struggled with injuries during his time at Molineux after arriving for around £3 million, but he has rebuilt his career at Alverca.
Now reports link him with a move to Sporting CP, and Wolves could reportedly receive a percentage of any future transfer fee.
Vitor Pereira targets Wolves duo
Former Wolves manager Vitor Pereira, now at Nottingham Forest, reportedly wants to raid his former club this summer.
Pereira guided Forest away from danger after replacing the previous management team and also led the club to the semi-finals of the Conference League.
Now he is reportedly targeting defender Ladislav Krejci and talented youngster Mateus Mane.
Krejci’s loan deal is expected to become permanent after reaching appearance-related conditions, while Mane continues attracting heavy interest after his breakthrough campaign.
West Brom face competition for Barney Stewart
West Bromwich Albion are reportedly facing a growing battle to sign highly rated Falkirk striker Barney Stewart.
The Daily Record claims Albion already had multiple seven-figure bids rejected.
Stewart scored 10 goals during the second half of the Scottish Premiership season and has emerged as one of the most exciting young strikers in Scotland.
Interest is now growing from Celtic, Oxford United, and Lincoln City, while Scotland coach Steve Clarke is reportedly monitoring the player ahead of the World Cup.
Aston Villa determined to keep Youri Tielemans
Unai Emery reportedly wants Aston Villa to reject any approaches for midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian international has become one of Villa’s most important players since arriving on a free transfer from Leicester City.
His performances this season have attracted attention from several clubs, but reports suggest Emery sees Tielemans as a central figure in Villa’s long-term project and wants the club to resist any offers.
