Wolves Under Vitor Pereira Overhaul Squad Amid Premier League Consolidation Efforts

Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has expressed satisfaction with the team's recent training camp in Portugal, emphasizing the importance of building team spirit, intensity, and a clear playing identity as they prepare for the 2025/26 Premier League season. Pereira's first full preseason with Wolves follows a successful campaign last season where he steered the club to safety, finishing 16th, and now aims to consolidate mid-table status while pushing for further improvement. The squad has seen significant changes, with key departures including Matheus Cunha and Rayan Aït-Nouri, and the club is actively pursuing new signings such as Jhon Arias and Marc Pubill to strengthen the team. Meanwhile, midfielder Boubacar Traore is expected to leave on loan to FC Metz, a deal that may allow his eventual return, reflecting Pereira's appreciation for his spirit and work ethic. Despite challenges, Pereira remains committed to the club's progress and believes Wolves can realistically target a stable mid-table finish while setting sights on future growth and European qualification. The coach underscores the need for continuous development and adapting to Premier League demands, aiming to prove Wolves can compete with the league's best.
