Wolves have named their asking price for Santiago Bueno, who is attracting a fair bit of attention after a decent season for the Old Gold.

Wanderers have been awful as a collective and will now play in the Championship from next season.

But Santiago Bueno can hold his head higher than most, as he has produced a string of good displays at the back.

Should any of these NOT be on this list? And are there any who aren’t there who SHOULD be on? 🤔

Before this season, the Uruguay international had mainly been a rotation option at Molineux.

But in 2025/26 he really stepped up for Wolves and has played his most minutes in a season since his arrival from Girona.

Earlier this week, a report emerged that revealed interest in Bueno is building ahead of the summer – and there is now word of an asking price.

A report from Spanish publication AS has claimed that Wolves would accept around €25 million (£21.6 million) for Bueno.

If Wolves managed to sell at this price point, then it would see the club bank just under three times what they paid for him.

That said, Girona actually hold a sell-on clause on Bueno, thought to be 20%. So some of that money will go to his former club.

With four Premier League clubs keen on Bueno, Wolves will hope that there’s a reasonable chance of their asking price being met.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s West Ham United are in the mix, as are Crystal Palace, who now have Matt Hobbs as their sporting director.

Bueno is understood to want to remain in the Premier League.

A fair price for Bueno

Given the season Bueno has had and the consistency he’s shown, the asking price mentioned above feels fair.

He’s an experienced player with 66 appearances in the Premier League, and he also has international pedigree, having accrued eight caps for Uruguay.

While he may not be the quickest, Bueno has shown himself to be a capable Premier League defender, and is the kind of ball-playing central defender a lot of teams value these days.

He has improved greatly since he first came to Wolves and hopefully he will now make the club a bit of money in the transfer market.

Ideally he would stay. But the interest in him is understandable, as his desire to remain in the top-flight.

In a season that was so terrible for Wolves as a club, Bueno will be remembered for being one of very few who actually played fairly well throughout.
