Five Wolves players facing an uncertain future at Molineux
It's looking like a huge summer off the pitch for Wolverhampton Wanderers with many stars facing an uncertain future at the club.


Vitor Pereira has revitalised a squad that was sleepwalking to relegation through a combination of coaching, discipline, inspiration and successful purchases.
Emmanuel Agbadou headlined a very smart recruiting process in January, while Marshall Munetsi has also shown promising signs as a first team starter.
But Pereria has admitted there will be movement in the summer with a large turnover expected.
Matheus Cunha is almost certain to leave with his £62.5m minimum fee release clause set to be triggered at the first opportunity.
Pablo Sarabia's contract will become a free agent, he turns 33 on Sunday and is also widely expected to move on at the end of the season.
Here are five more players who face an uncertain future:
1. Nelson Semedo


Like Sarabia, the Wolves captain's contract will also run out this summer, but Pereira has gone on record saying he is desperate to keep Semedo.
It's not secret the Portuguese international is one of the highest earners at the club, but can Wolves and Semedo come to an agreement?
When interviewed last week following the win over Leicester City, the wing-back expressed optimism that a deal could be struck.
Semedo has been a calming presence both on-and-off the pitch after Mario Lemina was stripped of the captaincy by former boss Gary O'Neil.
His performances remain consistent and it is expected that Wolves would have to spend significant money in transfer market to replace the 31-year-old.
Pedro Lima, Matt Doherty and Rodrigo Gomes can all play in that position, but whether any play should be a first choice starter next season is debatable.
Prediction: Leaves (free transfer)
2. Hwang Hee-Chan


It's been a season to forget for the South Korean striker.
Wolves rejected a £21m bid from Marseille last summer with the forward expected to play a key role this season.
But loss of form and injury has yielded only two Premier League goals this season.
His last Premier League start came on the January 15th in a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle where he was replaced at half-time.
Hwang is only one season removed from scoring 10 Premier League goals in just half a season, but that was 18 months ago.
If Wolves receive the same £21m bid this summer - would they accept?
Prediction: Stays
3. Goncalo Guedes


Guedes' career looked all-but-over to start the season, but to the forward's credit, he has performed well on occasion.
However the 'good' Guedes has been far too sporadic and remains a huge disappointment following the £27.5m move from Valencia.
Just three total Premier League goals-to-date in three seasons is not the return Fosun were hoping for.
Successful loan spells at Benfica and back at Valencia have shown his future may lie abroad.
Guedes was recently left out of the squad by Pereira for a lack of application in training, but has since returned to the bench.
With two years left on his current deal, Wolves are expected to be open to offers.
Prediction: Leaves (£8m)
4. Tommy Doyle


Doyle's £4.3m move from Manchester City following an initial loan deal looked to be magnificent business by the club.
The England U21 international looked at home in the centre of midfield under Gary O'Neil, but has failed to win a regular spot in the team.
The signing of Andre proved to be a major roadblock for Doyle to overcome, while Marshall Munetsi's versatility further pushed the youngster down the pecking order.
Pereira tried to move Doyle to compete for a starting spot higher up the pitch, but has since gone on record saying the midfielder is struggling to make an impact.
There will be a lot of interest in Doyle this summer, a homegrown young player with plenty of Premier League experience and room for improvement.
However Manchester City will receive 50 per cent of any profit from his original £4.3m fee.
Prediction: Leaves on loan
5. Rayan Ait-Nouri


Ait Nouri hasn't been at his best this season, but has had an excellent last six-weeks and is currently in the running for the Premier League player of the month.
Despite his quieter campaign, the Algerian international has still produced four goals and seven assists, the best of any full-back/wing-back in the division.
Only Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol has scored more goals as defender and he's been a virtual ever-present this season only missing the win at Leicester last December.
Matheus Cunha will be the big sale of the off season, but many believe Ait Nouri could also be sold as Wolves look to recoup significant transfer fees for reinvestment.
Wolves are keen to keep the defender and are set to offer him a new deal, but there is no guarantee he takes it and the level of interest from other clubs will play a part.
The 23-year-old's market value will be at a peak, but if a sale is to take place, Wolves will need to pay former club Angers around £9.5m to remove a 50 per cent sell-on clause from Ait-Nouri's transfer in 2021 after initially signing on a season-long loan.
With Hugo Bueno expected to return from Feyenoord and compete for a first-team starting birth and the emergence of Rodrigo Gomes, a permanent move is possible and it will be one to watch this summer.
Prediction: Stays
Other notables: Fabio Silva, Sam Johnstone, Santiago Bueno, Boubacar Traore
