Wolves prepared to let Guedes leave this summer
Wolves are willing to let midfielder Goncalo Guedes leave this summer as Vitor Pereira reshapes his squad.
The club has already banked over £90m following the sales of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City.

Guedes cost Wolves £27.5m when he joined from from Valencia in 2022 but has made just 18 Premier League starts.
He has spent two loan spells at Benfica and also six months at Villarreal in 2024.
Guedes, 28, returned to Molineux and 33 of his 51 appearances for the club came last season.
"I'm not sure about Goncalo Guedes, because he has a contract with us," boss Vitor Pereira said via Portuguese outlet Record earlier this week.
"I like him, but he's been there for a few years and has this ambition to leave."
The club has been looking at left-backs and number 10s to replace Ait-Nouri and Cunha - although Hugo Bueno is due to return from his loan spell at Feyenoord to be a contender for the left-back spot.

Right-back remains a priority with Nelson Semedo out of contract and yet to sign the new deal on offer at Molineux.
Wolves are also due to appoint Domenico Teti as part of their internal shake-up. Teti worked with Pereira at Al Shabab and is expected to come in as sporting director after the departure of Matt Hobbs last week.

'Out of the blocks' - why Manchester United targeted two quick signings
Signing the best player from Wolves should never be billed as a 'statement signing' by Manchester United but there was a statement of intent with the quick conclusion of the Matheus Cunha deal. Advertisement Cunha's release clause, the Portuguese coterie at United and Ruben Amorim's system made the Brazilian playmaker an obviously attractive target. After Wolves won at Old Trafford on Easter Sunday, the swiftness with which United moved for Cunha meant it would have been a surprise if he had not ended up in their shirt. Buying Premier League quality also laid down a marker. After the world record £80million United parted with to buy Harry Maguire in 2019, they bought one player from a Premier League side (Mason Mount) before this calendar year. READ MORE: Manchester United move for £42.8m Europa League winner amid Andre Onana transfer call READ MORE: Turning tables on Man City, a new building and more - how Man United academy became a force again Advertisement Cunha is a specialist No.10 and an upgrade on United's existing options, bar Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes could be relocated to central midfield if he remains at United beyond the closure of the transfer window. Sources at United spoke about the desire to come out of the blocks in the window. Ideally, they would have two new forwards in the building but Liam Delap chose Chelsea. Minutes after Delap's decision had been reported, United staff in Hong Kong were in a relaxed mood and stressing there were contingency targets. United's season, with 44 league goals and a -10 goal difference, demanded swift action in the market. Now their priority is Bryan Mbeumo, another forward who outscored Cunha with a remarkable 20 league goals last term. Mbeumo represents the best of both worlds. He can switch from attacker to defender, given his experience on the right wing in Brentford's back-three system. His natural skill set is of an attacker, though. Mbeumo was amused to discover he was listed as a midfielder in the Fantasy Premier League last season. Advertisement The looming 'deadline' of June 30 - the end of the financial year - and the rejection of United's opening offer of up to £55m for Mbeumo has caused activity to slow down. Deals were practically done for Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro in early July last year and there is bound to be movement next month. United leave for their pre-season tour of the United States on July 22 - four weeks on Tuesday. Before that, their friendly schedule begins against Leeds United in Norway (again) on July 19. United are still guarded as to the official return date for their players but the week beginning July 7 would be logical (it was July 8 last year). In previous summers, United have finalised signings after the start of the pre-season tour only to welcome new players at their base. Sergio Romero, Fred and Andre Onana flew to the United States in 2015, 2018 and 2023. United decided not to summon Christian Eriksen to Australia in 2022. This summer is a rarity in that there is no international tournament. After the 2026 World Cup, another Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled for summer 2027, then is the European Championship and the Copa America in 2028. Having Cunha and Mbeumo in Chicago would be another statement.

Goalkeeper Changes Loom with United Tracking Serie A Stopper
Monaco Circle Onana as United Monitor Carnesecchi Goalkeeping Carousel in Motion As reported by DiMarzio, Monaco have made an enquiry for Manchester United's André Onana. While such a move might seem speculative from the Ligue 1 side, it may set in motion a more intriguing shift in the European goalkeeping landscape. Onana, once heralded as a transformational presence for United, has endured a turbulent time in Manchester. 'The 29-year-old goalkeeper owned by Manchester United' started 50 matches last season but was never far from the critics' gaze. Advertisement Ten Hag and his successor Ruben Amorim kept faith with the former Inter man, but results, especially the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, continue to cast shadows. Photo IMAGO Red Devils' Italian Focus Should Onana depart Old Trafford, United's reported interest turns to Atalanta's Marco Carnesecchi, a name long admired in Serie A circles. As DiMarzio notes, 'the profile that Ruben Amorim's team likes the most is that of Marco Carnesecchi.' The 23-year-old has had a breakout season, featuring 44 times and notching up 18 clean sheets, guiding Atalanta to an impressive third-place finish and another shot at Champions League football. Advertisement Contacts have been made with the player's agent but not yet with Atalanta, 'who would hardly be able to let him go unless there were truly satisfactory offers.' Atalanta hold a strong position and know the value of a consistent performer in his prime. Spotlight on Carnesecchi Carnesecchi is no longer simply a 'keeper with potential. With Europe watching, the young Italian made headlines off the pitch too: 'while England is watching him with interest, the Atalanta goalkeeper got married today, Friday 20 June.' It's a moment of personal joy amidst serious professional intrigue. Changing of the Guard? Monaco's move for Onana may fizzle out, but the ripples could be felt far wider. United, no strangers to headline-grabbing transfers, may soon look to reset their backline, and Carnesecchi could be the man they believe in next. Our View – EPL Index If this move materialises, United fans can be genuinely excited. Onana has had his moments, sure, but consistency wasn't one of them. Too many lapses in judgement, erratic decisions, and questionable distribution left the fanbase wondering if the club got it right last summer. Advertisement Carnesecchi? He's got pedigree, presence, and promise. Eighteen clean sheets in a Serie A season tells its own story. He's not just a shot-stopper, he commands the box. United haven't had a presence like that since the prime David De Gea years. Of course, fans will be cautious. Atalanta won't budge easily. But if Onana does go to Monaco, which seems possible now that 'Monaco have made an enquiry,' then this is a rare chance for a smart bit of business. It's about more than talent now — it's about mentality and leadership. Carnesecchi looks to have both, and fans will rightly be optimistic that United, after some erratic years in the transfer market, are finally targeting stability in the right way.

Report – Napoli Rival Inter Milan To Sign €45M Rated Man United Star
Napoli are ready to rival Inter Milan for the signature of Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Rasmus Hojlund looks to be attracting a fair bit of transfer interest from Serie A. For one thing, Inter Milan have reportedly made the Dane one of their top targets in attack. They still rate him highly based on his season at Atalanta in the 2022-23 campaign. However, it is not just the Nerazzurri eyeing up a move for Hojlund. Napoli Rival Inter For Rasmus Hojlund MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 02: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United in action during the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC at Old Trafford on February 02, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Italian champions Napoli also consider Hojlund a target. There is little doubt that the Partenopei will sign a striker this summer. They want to strengthen in attack by providing a backup option and competition for Romelu Lukaku. Advertisement The Gazzetta note that Liverpool's Darwin Nunez looks to be Napoli's top target. Meanwhile, the Partenopei are also keen on Udinese's Lorenzo Lucca. However, negotiations for Nunez and Lucca have not been straightforward. Therefore, Napoli are looking at alternative targets. And the Gazzetta report that Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund is right up there on the champions' shortlist. Like Inter, Napoli still believe that Hojlund can thrive in Serie A. In spite of a couple underwhelming campaigns at Old Trafford. And unlike Inter, the Gazzetta notes, Napoli could move right away. Inter are on the verge of signing Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma. Now, they will have to offload Mehdi Taremi before they can move for Rasmus Hojlund. Advertisement Moreover, the Nerazzurri are aiming to sign the 22-year-old on an initial loan deal with a purchase option. On the other hand, the Gazzetta report, Napoli can move for Hojlund right away. Therefore, if they decide to step up their pursuit then they could have a decisive advantage over Inter.
