The future of Daniel Podence at Wolves has been a major talking point during the summer transfer window. Podence, who was Wolves’ top scorer in the 2022/23 season, spent last year on loan at Olympiacos, where he continued to shine. After helping Olympiacos win the Europa Conference League, Podence returned to Wolves this summer, sparking speculation about his future.
Despite receiving a ‘high offer’ from an MLS team, Podence has rejected the opportunity to leave Wolves. It seems that the Portuguese winger is set on a return to Olympiacos and is determined to make it happen. Wolves have set an asking price of €10 million for Podence, but Olympiacos has not yet met this valuation.
As Podence enters the final year of his contract, Wolves are faced with a decision. If Olympiacos does not meet the asking price, Wolves risk losing Podence for free next summer. However, the club is determined to hold out for the right deal. Fans are hopeful that the club’s management, led by Matt Hobbs, will be able to negotiate a successful transfer.
The situation with Podence highlights the delicate balance that clubs must strike in transfer negotiations. While Wolves want to secure a fair deal for the player, they also need to consider their financial interests. Podence’s value remains high, but with only a year left on his contract, the club must act strategically.
Ultimately, the ball is in Olympiacos’ court. If they are serious about bringing Podence back to the club, they will need to meet Wolves’ asking price. Otherwise, the winger could find himself in a difficult position, with his future uncertain. As the transfer window draws to a close, all eyes will be on how this saga unfolds and whether a deal can be reached that satisfies all parties involved.
