Future Star Alert: Leo Lopes Pens Deal with Wolves

Wolves Secure Exciting Young Talent Leo Lopes Until 2026

Wolves have completed a fascinating signing that’s likely to have fans at the edge of their seats for seasons to come. Leo Lopes, an attacking prodigy, has sealed a deal at Compton Park, ensuring his presence until June 2026. With an impressive stint at Grasshopper Club Zurich and a promising future ahead, Lopes is one to watch.

Wolves have completed the signing of attacker Leo Lopes, who has penned a deal until June 2026 at Compton Park.

Nice is reportedly pushing to complete the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Rayan Ait-Nouri.

On the back of a frustrating campaign where they finished in ninth place in Ligue 1, Nice is now attempting to rebuild under new boss Francesco Farioli.

However, while four departures have occurred in the South of France, Nice is yet to make an addition ahead of the upcoming campaign.

According to French outlet SPORTS ZONE on Twitter, Les Aiglons are looking to secure a deal for Ait-Nouri as soon as possible.

The report claims that Nice has already agreed personal terms with the Algeria international, who is seemingly keen to return to French football.

Including his initial loan stint, Ait-Nouri has spent the last three seasons at Molineux, making a total of 78 appearances in all competitions.

In that period, four goals and eight assists have been contributed in all competitions, but the left-sided player has fallen down the pecking order under Julen Lopetegui.

During the final three months of 2022-23, Ait Nouri made just three outings, his game time coming in defeats away at Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Arsenal respectively.

Over the past week, the 22-year-old has played 14 minutes of the 1-0 win over Porto and featured for the second half as Wolves drew with Celtic on Saturday.

Nevertheless, at a time when Wolves are known to need to generate funds to meet FFP criteria, it is plausible that the Premier League outfit will be open to a sale.

That said, a report in Foot Mercato says that reaching a compromise over a transfer fee is proving to be ‘complicated’, leaving Nice having to consider alternatives.

While Wolves paid £9.5m for Ait-Nouri two years ago, Angers requested that a substantial sell-on clause, allegedly 50%, be included in the proposal.

If that was the case, Wolves would effectively have to sell Ait-Nouri for £19m in order to break even on the player, something which is unlikely given his current status at the club.
