Wolves have made a rapid start to the winter transfer window, with one deal almost complete.
Vitor Pereira is looking to capitalise on his record-breaking start as Wolves manager by using the January transfer window.
Already, the Old Gold have bolstered their defence, with Emmanuel Agbadou set to join Wolves as an irrefutable bid was accepted by Reims.
As well as arrivals, Pereira has commented on possible Wolves exits this winter, in what is set to be a busy time at Molineux.
James Rodriguez open to January transfer after being offered to Wolves
With the transfer window comes transfer rumours, some more bizarre than others.
Already, Wolves have been linked to Hakim Ziyech, who is set to leave Galatasaray this winter and now, another high-profile star’s future is in doubt.
Last summer, Wolves were offered James Rodriguez, a client of Jorge Mendes, as the Colombian sensation looked for his next venture.
Of course, the Old Gold didn’t take up the chance to sign the two-time Champions League winner, who instead ventured to Spain to sign for Rayo Vallecano.
Now, the former Real Madrid star is set to be on the move again, as Fabrizio Romano shared an update on his future.
“James Rodriguez could leave Rayo Vallecano as free agent in the next days. Discussions ongoing to terminate the contract and try new chapter as free agent for James.”
At the time of Wolves being offered the chance to sign the 33-year-old, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Brighton were also in the picture.
Wolves’ stance at the time was unknown but, with Mendes representing the player, the opportunities could possibly lead him back to the Premier League – which would be a surprise.
How Rodriguez fared in the Premier League
Being a two-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, and a representative of some top clubs around the world, Rodriguez boasts a stellar collection of silverware.
The attacker’s decline was evident as he joined Everton in a surprise move in 2020, where his time in the Premier League was disrupted due to injury.

Given that Wolves hope to be a club on the rise under Pereira, approaching the veteran player seems unlikely although, his experience could be of use within the dressing room.
After being offered to Premier League clubs in the summer, it will be interesting to see where Rodriguez’s next destination will be.
