After the international break, Liverpool will play Wolves in the Premier League.
Daniel Podence has been permitted to depart Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of their upcoming match against Liverpool.
Podence joined Wolves from Olympiacos in January 2020 and has 16 goals in 105 appearances for the club. However, the 27-year-old has not appeared in any of Wolves’ four Premier League games this season.
Podence has signed a new three-year contract with Molineux before joining Olympiacos on a season-long loan. Wolves will be without him when they visit Liverpool on Saturday, September 16, following the international break.
“It’s no secret that Daniel was keen to look at new options this summer, but nothing came which suited us or Daniel, but this is an opportunity for him to go back where he was and play European football, and he was great in understanding that for us to allow it, he had to sign a contract,” Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs said in response to the decision.
“There’s still a chance Daniel returns to Wolves, but it was the right time to let him go and play this season.” He may either return after the season or we will negotiate with a player with a lengthier contract next summer. He was polite and didn’t argue; he was happy to protect the club. We’ll keep in touch during the season, and I want him to succeed so that he can either return to us in high form or maximize his value.
“It had been discussed since January, when Julen was here, that he might leave in the summer, but he wasn’t going to leave for anyone.” He had Premier League offers, but he didn’t want to go, but with this possibility, European football was a significant draw. It benefits all parties. They receive a good player on loan, and we avoid any charges for the rest of the season. It was a win-win situation for everyone.”
