As if Wolves haven’t seen enough bodies out the door this year, one of the most famous clubs on the continent want to lure away a man who arrived mere months ago.
Settled isn’t the word you would use to describe Wolves in 2025.
Since Vitor Pereira’s arrival, the team has taken on an entirely new appearance and there has been plenty of movement behind the scenes, too.
But now, news of interest in one of the main decision-makers at the club threatens to elongate this tumultuous period of change.
Juventus are looking at Wolves director Domenico Teti
Having arrived at Molineux in June, Domenico Teti hasn’t had long to make his stamp on Wolves.
But already, it appears Italian giants Juventus have plans to lure him away.
That’s according to a Tutto Juve report that claims Juventus are turning their attention to the Wolves chief as they look to fill the role of Sporting Director.
The report discusses Juventus’ original target, Genoa manager Marco Ottolini, but the Old Lady and its servants are now turning their head to the Italian executive: “A couple of meetings between the parties have been confirmed, but the final decision also depends on Damien Comolli, who, for his part, would like a director with extensive international experience.
“Thus, in recent weeks, Domenico Teti’s profile has also been explored.”
It seems Ottolini isn’t the ideal candidate in terms of experience, which Teti has in spades.
In that vein, the report continues: “His profile is interesting because he speaks several languages, has extensive experience, and can combine the Italian and European approaches.”
Juventus think they can lure him away, despite such a short tenure at Molineux.
Too soon to assess Teti
The job of a Sporting Director is to develop and execute the long-term strategy of a football club. After just four months, it’s impossible to judge Teti’s progress.
The new signings that have come in under his watch have yielded mixed results, which you would expect given how little time has passed, but there are no howlers, from what we have seen.
As for the exits, most of the players Wolves wanted to move on are now gone. The ones they didn’t want to go, they got decent fees for, at least.
The interest in Teti suggests his appointment was the right one, and Wolves are under no obligation to entertain any advances. It would be yet another change at the club that could further unsettle a side already struggling.
One to shut down.
