General Wolves News

[Deutsch Wolf]

When was his original contract going to expire?

2027, which is sooner than it sounds

True.

But seems odd to give him a new deal now doesn't it?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't say so.

What if you leave it, he has a really good year then he has 1 year left?

We're not in the Joe Hodge realm here.

I'd presume we're confident about his recovery from the injury then? Definitely a player I'd like to see more of

 

[Tony Towner]

That's a big vote of confidence, not something I'd have done until mid next season tbh. Still more projection than anything we've seen and he's 23 coming off his second major injury.

 

[PuntsWolf]

If he’s not had much of a wage bump then it’s a no lose situation.

He's not signing a 5 year deal without a significant one

He was probably on fuck all though. So even tripling his wages he’d still be one of our lowest earners.

I bet it's £40k per week or more. He'd be silly to sign anything less

 

[Carsy]

Most clubs try and get players they see having a future being tied down to longer than 2years left.

Must be confident in his recovery. Liked the look of him, albeit a relatively small sample size

I’d guess 30-40k. Still fuck all though relatively speaking. He will recover fine anyway, and the club clearly have a better idea of his ability than we might do so not so much projection from their standpoint.

2026 according to the Athletic article.

Good news anyway. He was very good for Villarreal and did alright for us in the short period.

 

[Lycan]

What is RAN gonna fetch? £40m?

The Times reporting that Bournemouth have set a £45M asking price for Kerkez

 

[Langers]

New contract until 2030 for Joao Gomes

[Kenny]

And no release clause included

 

[Lupo]

Great news but will De Rossi want him?

 

[Sniffer]

And no release clause included

Have Wolves announced that or has it come from internet sleuths?

PTS has announced the no release clause bit

 

[Lycan]

Great news, I've loved watching him play the last few years.

 

[Carsy]

Decent week or so on the new contracts tbf.

Even on the Cunha one, it does secure our position, well strengthen it IMHO. Could argue whether 62.5m is a fair valuation, but I don’t think it’s that wide of the mark.
