Wolves’ manager Vitor Pereira expressed that the unpredictability of football means he wouldn’t be shocked if star forward Strand Larsen departs the club this summer, according to a report by Softfootball.<\/p>\n

Larsen emerged as a key player for Wolves in their recent match, where he scored two goals in a 3-2 victory against West Ham United in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano relayed through his official X account<\/a> that the coach is hopeful that Larsen will remain at Wolves, while also acknowledging the realities of football that could lead to various outcomes.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio noted:<\/p>\n

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira: Until now, Strand Larsen is our player. Also I understand football, every player has a price.<\/p>\n

He will never force a move, but of course we know football is football. We must be ready for everything.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This week, Newcastle United submitted a \u00a355 million bid for Strand Larsen, which Wolves promptly turned down, signaling their commitment to keeping the player.<\/p>\n

In need of a striker, Newcastle faces a challenge after Callum Wilson’s contract expired last month and with Alexander Isak seeking a transfer to Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Newcastle previously rejected a \u00a3110 million offer for Isak, with Liverpool preparing to make a more significant bid, potentially up to \u00a3150 million, as they look to bolster their attacking options after signing Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt for \u00a390 million. Ekitike has made an immediate impact, scoring in each match he has played for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Newcastle is aware of the likelihood that Isak could leave before the transfer window closes on September 1, making Larsen an appealing alternative. However, Wolves are currently resisting any attempts to secure the forward.<\/p>\n

Wolves recently finalized the permanent acquisition of Strand Larsen for \u00a323 million from Celta Vigo, following a successful loan term in which he tallied 14 goals in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

With Matheus Cunha already transferred to Manchester United, Wolves are hesitant to lose another key attacker this summer, yet the situation remains fluid until the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
