Hugo Bueno could have interest this summer, with journalist Liam Keen suggesting his performances will lead to a market for him.

Hugo Bueno returned to Wolves last summer after spending the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Feyenoord.

Wolves signed David Moller Wolfe, but despite the arrival of a new rival, Bueno has seen plenty of minutes this season.

Moller Wolfe has done OK, but Bueno has arguably won that particular battle, playing 2130 minutes compared to 1115 for the Norwegian.

Bueno has been favoured much more recently, starting 12 of the last 13 Premier League games.

And Bueno has arguably been one of Wolves’ better performers – which could now lead to Wolves struggling to keep the Spaniard.

Liam Keen comments on Hugo Bueno’s Wolves future

Speaking on the latest E&S Wolves podcast, journalist Liam Keen commented on Hugo Bueno after a fan wrote in to ask about his future.

He said: “Hugo Bueno would be the best left-back of left wing-back in the Championship if he stayed, in my opinion. I think he’s really done well actually in the last few months and got really consistent, a really good player. I’m a big fan of Hugo Bueno.

“Moller Wolfe’s not done that bad recently, really, but Bueno is just keeping him out of the team. I would be surprised if Wolves kept him. I think there’s a market for Hugo Bueno out there.

“Ok I wouldn’t say surprised, that might be a bit dramatic. But I do think there’ll be teams in for him, both home and abroad – I think he can get a move.”

Wolves need to bat away interest in Bueno

The likelihood is that Wolves will be in the Championship next season and that will obviously cast doubt on the futures of many players.

Hugo Bueno is no exception, and transfer interest in him this summer does feel likely.

But Wolves would be doing the right thing by keeping hold of him. Ultimately, Bueno has proven himself at Premier League level and would therefore, in theory, be extremely at home playing in the second tier.

And it’s not out of the question he’d be up for that challenge as well.

We know that Bueno really loves Wolves, who plucked him from relative obscurity back in 2019 from Spanish side Areosa.

He’s been at the club for a long time now, coming up through the ranks to establish himself as a first-team player.

Last summer, Liam Keen said of Bueno: “I know for a fact that he’s desperate to play, he does love Wolves. I spoke to him about his love for the club. He arrived as a 16-year-old in the academy – they spent around £3000 on him. What a steal that’s been, from a very small club in the non-league system of Spanish football. Fantastic scouting to bring him in and look what he’s become.

“Wolves is a home and family for him.”

To cash in on a player who genuinely loves playing for the badge, when it’s been clear in recent times that plenty of others haven’t, would be very disappointing.
