Wolves Secure Jorgen Strand Larsen New Contract Without Release Clause Amid Newcastle Interest

Jørgen Strand Larsen, the Wolves striker, is set to sign a new contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers that notably excludes a release clause, following significant transfer interest from Newcastle United, who had bids rejected up to £60 million. Despite his desire to move, Strand Larsen accepted Wolves' stance that he was not for sale, and the club rewarded his professionalism and importance to the team with improved terms. The new deal comes after Larsen played a crucial role in Wolves maintaining their Premier League status last season, scoring 14 goals and providing four assists. His absence due to an Achilles injury has been felt by the team, highlighting his value as a focal point in attack. Wolves' owners are aiming for stability, having also extended manager Vitor Pereira's contract, and the club now has control over Larsen's future without a release clause limiting their negotiating power. The contract is expected to be signed imminently or before January, securing Larsen's stay at Molineux amid ongoing recovery from injury.
