With Premier League survival secured, Wolves already have one eye on the summer as they try to sign defensive reinforcements.
Matheus Cunha’s expected transfer to Man United means that Wolves will likely have cash to play with this summer.
The Brazilian’s departure will leave a gaping hole in the Molineux attack, but it seems like Wolves have priorities at the other end of the pitch as well.
Emmanuel Agbadou arrived at Molineux back in January, but it seems Vitor Pereira is in search of further defensive recruits ahead of next campaign.

Wolves want to sign Thiago Silvero
Matt Doherty has shone under Pereira since his move to right centre-back, but at 33 years old, Wolves will recognise the need for a long-term replacement.
This has seen them turn their attention to Velez Sarsfield defender Thiago Silvero.
Wolves are said to be heavily interested in the 18-year-old defender and have reportedly had an offer of £4 million rejected by the Argentine outfit.
According to South American journalist Martin Etcheverry, the Molineux outfit are expected to return for the centre-back, with a reported £8 million release clause potentially enough to land his signature.
Real Madrid also interested in Silvero transfer
Despite having only made seven first-team appearances to date, Silvero is very highly rated in Argentina, so much so that Real Madrid have even registered an interest in him.

Back in March, it was reported that the European giants were keen on adding the 18-year-old to their youth ranks; they were, however, unable to strike a deal with Velez Sarsfield.
Premier League newbies Burnley are also said to be keen on the defender, meaning Wolves will have to be quick if they want to secure the Argentine’s services.
If Fosun can somehow manage to beat Madrid to the centre-back’s signing, it could turn out to be a very significant transfer in years to come.
