“Imminent”- Wolves alerted to latest Fabrizio Romano transfer update as Vitor Pereira eyes eight-figure boost
Vitor Pereira could be about to financially benefit from one deal Wolves closed way before the manager’s arrival.
The summer transfer window is set to be a period of change at Compton Park, with exits and arrivals expected.
Several players have already been linked to Wolves ahead of the summer market, as Pereira prepares for his first full season at Molineux.
While the Wolves manager’s focus will firmly be on how he can improve his squad, one transfer story happening elsewhere could temporarily catch Pereira’s eye.
Fabrizio Romano shares Morgan Gibbs-White transfer update
In 2022, Wolves sold Morgan Gibbs-White to Nottingham Forest, watching the academy graduate leave in a deal that handed the Old Gold pure profit.
Gibbs-White generated £42.5m for his former club, and now, the Englishman could be in line to see those at Molineux benefit from his movements once again.
On X, Fabrizio Romano shared an update on Manchester City’s plans to sign Gibbs-White in the summer.
“Manchester City plan to advance on Morgan Gibbs-White deal in the next weeks as he remains one of the priority targets.
“No issues are expected on personal terms, but work to do with Nottingham Forest as they still hope to keep MGW.”
Though the midfielder left Wolves almost three years ago, the 25-year-old’s proposed transfer to Man City will interest those in the West Midlands.
Wolves inserted a 10% sell-on clause in Gibbs-White’s contract with Forest, setting the Old Gold up to financially benefit from his next step.
Wolves could earn eight-figure profit from Gibbs-White transfer
Though a 10% sell-on fee isn’t the most exciting percentage, Wolves will be backing Forest to secure their asking price for the former midfielder.
Forest want £100m for Gibbs-White, which, if achieved, would hand £10m to Wolves to add to their transfer kitty.
An eight-figure profit out of the blue would certainly please Fosun, who will be in a position to present Pereira with additional funds to bolster the squad.
Though Gibbs-White is a villain at Wolves, the in-form attacker could leave his former employers smiling in the summer if he makes a big-money move to the Etihad.
