As Gary O’Neil prepares to sell a £35 million player to “fund an Arsenal raid,” Wolves are “baffled” by the Premier League rival’s assertion…

Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered a devastating blow as they were knocked out of the FA Cup quarter-finals by Coventry City, losing 3-2 despite late goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno. The defeat dashed their hopes of silverware, leaving them to reflect during the March international break before refocusing on securing a top-half finish in the Premier League, starting with a crucial match against Aston Villa.

Recent reports from BirminghamWorld have highlighted various developments at Molineux. Wolverhampton officials are reportedly puzzled and somewhat irritated by Nottingham Forest’s involvement in their Premier League points deduction saga. According to The Athletic, Forest suggested that Wolves were compelled to sell Ruben Neves last summer to avoid violating profitability and sustainability rules. However, officials from Wolverhampton deny any correlation between Neves’ transfer to Al-Hilal and avoiding a breach of PSR regulations. While Wolverhampton has been cautious with financial matters, there hasn’t been any serious concern about potential rule violations.

Furthermore, Wolverhampton is allegedly considering offloading their record-signing Fabio Silva to raise funds for a new striker. Silva, who was acquired for £35 million in 2020, has struggled to secure a spot in the first team and has been loaned out to Rangers after stints at Anderlecht and PSV Eindhoven. Despite his promising performances at Rangers, Wolverhampton may accept a significant loss, aiming to recoup around £15 million from his sale. Manager Gary O’Neil is reportedly willing to approve Silva’s departure as he sets his sights on acquiring Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah. Nketiah, 24, is expected to leave Arsenal in search of regular playing time, making him a target for Wolverhampton as they look to strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season.
