Wolves are seeking to kick on in 2025/26 -and fans believe they have spotted a transfer opportunity for Vitor Pereira.
Wolves finished 16th in the Premier League in 2024/25, which is the club’s lowest position since returning to the top-flight.
But it has been a positive 2025 so far for Wolves, with Vitor Pereira steering the team well clear of relegation.
Now, fans want to see the manager backed.
It’s been a tough start to the summer with a number of players leaving.
But Fer Lopez came in as Wolves’ first signing last week, and now more new faces are expected to follow the Spaniard to Molineux.
Fosun recognise the need for a rebuild at Wolves and won’t just be sanctioning deals for two or three players.
There will be clamouring for big-money moves. But we all know how Fosun operate, with cut-price deals and free swoops always welcomed.
And Wolves fans reckon there’s one player out there at the moment who could potentially be a real bargain now.
Wolves fans urge Vitor Pereira to sign Georges Mikautadze as Lyon are relegated
There was big news in the football world on Tuesday, with Lyon being relegated to Ligue 2.
The French giants have lost their top-flight status as they failed to get their finances in order, and this now means a number of players will leave the club, barring a successful appeal of the decision.
Potentially, Wolves have a chance to sign Georges Mikautadze, who is a player the club have been linked with several times in the past.
Given he scored 17 goals for Lyon last term, he could very well be one of the most coveted players for other clubs, and one of the first out the door.
And Wolves fans think Pereira should be throwing his hat into the ring.
@chriswolves95: “Surely we’ve got to go for Mikautadze now Lyon have been relegated.”
@wwfc_martin: “There’s no excuse for not going for Mikautadze now.”
@ZakWWFC_: “Georges Mikautadze welcome to Wolves
@Savwwfc: “Wolves have got be all over Mikautadze surely, or does it make too much sense #wwfc #Wolves.”
@BellegardeSZN: “Georges Mikautadze would be a perfect Cunha replacement, hopefully we can nab him off Lyon on the cheap now they’re relegated.”
Wolves must approach Lyon over Mikautadze
It makes so much sense now for Wolves to make an approach to Lyon over Mikautadze.
He can play as a striker or just off a number nine, and that versatility could be hugely helpful to Pereira, especially with Goncalo Guedes looking likely to leave Wolves.
Mikautadze is a player Wolves have reportedly had an interest in for a while, and this does feel like an opportunity to strike.
Wolves should quickly try to understand the conditions of a potential deal. Because one would imagine that a host of other clubs are now going to be looking at him after Lyon’s relegation.
Wolves have recently seen how players from the French top-flight have fared in the Premier League, with Emmanuel Agbadou and Marshall Munetsi both shining – Mikautadze is another who could do the same.
