“BIG MOVE From Wolves” – Another Top Player Set to Leave Molineux After Cunha and Aït-Nouri- Wolves Set to Cash in BIG TIME on His Transfer

Wolves Braced for Semedo Departure as Contract Deadline Looms

Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing for the likely departure of club captain Nelson Semedo, with just days remaining on his current contract at Molineux.

The Portuguese right-back, who has been a key figure at Wolves since his arrival from Barcelona in 2020, is set to become a free agent on July 1 unless a dramatic late twist occurs. Despite the club’s best efforts to secure his future in the West Midlands, talks have stalled, and no agreement has been reached.

Sources close to the situation have confirmed that Wolves tabled a “generous” four-year deal in a bid to convince Semedo to commit his long-term future to the club. However, the 30-year-old has yet to respond definitively, leaving Wolves in limbo as they wait for clarity on their captain’s intentions.

The financial implications of Semedo’s exit would be significant — and not necessarily negative from a club budgeting standpoint. Should he opt to leave, Wolves would stand to save a considerable amount in wages over the next few seasons. While the exact figures remain confidential, insiders suggest the sum would be “staggering” given Semedo’s status as one of the highest earners at the club.

Wolves’ hierarchy have made it clear they value Semedo’s experience, leadership and consistency, especially after he was handed the captain’s armband following the departure of previous skipper Rúben Neves. The full-back has been a near ever-present under Gary O’Neil, offering reliability in both defensive and transitional phases of play.

Yet the club also appear prepared for life without him. Behind the scenes, recruitment staff have been weighing up right-back options in case Semedo chooses to move on. With Wolves continuing to balance Premier League survival ambitions and long-term financial sustainability, a departure would allow the club to redistribute resources more flexibly across the squad.

Semedo’s situation has inevitably attracted attention from abroad, with clubs in Spain, Turkey and the Middle East monitoring developments closely. While a return to La Liga hasn’t been ruled out, Wolves remain hopeful that he will give serious consideration to their final proposal.

As the clock ticks down to the contract deadline, Wolves’ stance remains unchanged: they want Semedo to stay, but they won’t break their financial structure to make it happen. The ball is now firmly in the defender’s court.

Wolves fans will be watching anxiously over the next 72 hours, with the club’s preparations for the 2025/26 campaign hanging in the balance. Should Semedo depart, his exit would mark the end of a five-year stint in old gold — one in which he evolved from an overseas recruit into a respected leader at Molineux.

For now, uncertainty reigns. But one thing is clear — if Semedo chooses to leave, he does so with the club’s respect and the knowledge that Wolves did all they could to keep him.
