Real Sociedad set to complete €4m Goncalo Guedes transfer from Wolves
Real Sociedad are set to complete the signing of Goncalo Guedes from Wolverhampton Wanderers with a €4million (£3.5m, $4.6m) agreement in place. Guedes signed a five-year contract at Molineux in 2022 after the Premier League club agreed a £27.5m (€32.6m, $33.2m) deal with Valencia to sign the forward. Advertisement The Portugal international had a difficult start to his tenure at the club and struggled to settle in England, recording two goals and an assist in his first 18 Wolves appearances. The 28-year-old was allowed to depart the club in January 2023 on a loan deal to Benfica, where he started his career. Wolves sanctioned the move without a loan fee. Guedes returned to Benfica on loan for the first half of 2023-24 and then spent the second part of the campaign at Villarreal. Last season, however, Guedes remained at Wolves and had his best return at the club, playing 33 times, scoring five goals and providing a further five assists. He was one of a number of Portuguese players represented by agent Jorge Mendes to join Wolves following their return to the top-flight in 2017. Guedes earned the majority of his Premier League starts following the arrival of Vitor Pereira as Wolves' head coach last season, after Gary O'Neil was sacked in December. He recorded a goal and assist in the 3-0 victory over Leicester City in Pereira's first match in charge on December 22. Wolves have signed Fer Lopez, Jhon Arias and David Moller Wolfe this summer, while Jorgen Strand Larsen's loan move from Celta Vigo has been made permanent. Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Nelson Semedo and Pablo Sarabia are among those players to have exited Molineux in this window. Guedes becomes Real Sociedad's second signing of the summer following the arrival of defender Duje Caleta-Car from Lyon on a loan deal. ()

Wolves prepared to let Guedes leave this summer

The club has already banked over £90m following the sales of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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.

Brighton loss shows where summer recruitment should be focused
Brighton have a knack for spoiling Wolves' party, and the latest defeat was a reminder that the "manager of the month curse" is alive and well at Wolves supporters, the Seagulls' recent record is enough to give a sinking feeling before kick-off. Time after time, Wolves have not solved Brighton's puzzle. Their press, quick transitions and tactical shape always seem to catch Wolves first half offered glimpses of control and a few decent spells, but after conceding a penalty - another mistake that is all too familiar - it felt like things were not going to go our way. There was little urgency and the home crowd felt the was not a thrashing, but it hurt because Wolves were mostly undone by themselves. Brighton's discipline and shape made the difference. Wolves had more of the ball but did not threaten enough. The creative spark just was not Cunha dropped much deeper than usual, missing his usual impact up front and his costly challenge for the penalty gave Brighton their opener. Goncalo Guedes had moments but could not convert. When corners and free-kicks came Wolves' way, they led to nothing. Wolves seemed to lose all their attacking intent.A slip in concentration led to Brighton's second goal and Wolves just could not fans, the loss felt avoidable. Brighton were not outstanding, but still beat us again. The frustration is clear: without more creativity, pace, or a real goal threat, Wolves will keep finding teams like Brighton hard to break down. Looking ahead, summer recruitment needs to focus on fixing these would be a shame if Wolves just limp over the line. We need to keep recent momentum going, find that missing spark and set the tone for next more from Dazzling Dave at Always Wolves, external
