Vitor Pereira Should Consider Selling These 3 Wolves Players in January

With Vitor Pereira set to take over as Wolverhampton Wanderers’ new manager, he faces the challenging task of keeping the club in the Premier League while also managing finances. To comply with financial regulations, Wolves may need to sell some players in the January transfer window. Here are three high-earning players Pereira should consider offloading:

1. Rayan Ait-Nouri

The talented 23-year-old left-back has been one of Wolves’ best performers this season, with 3 goals and 3 assists in 16 league appearances. However, he is reportedly keen to leave and Manchester United are interested. While losing Ait-Nouri would be a blow, his £58 million valuation could provide crucial funds for Pereira to reinvest in the squad.

2. Pablo Sarabia

The 32-year-old Spanish playmaker is Wolves’ joint-highest earner on £90,000 per week, but has struggled for game time this season with just 7 appearances in all competitions. With his contract expiring in the summer, selling Sarabia in January could save significant wages and allow Pereira to bring in fresh attacking options.

3. Jose Sa

The Portuguese goalkeeper has endured a difficult season, conceding 23 goals in 9 league appearances. With summer signing Sam Johnstone pushing for the number one spot, Sa could be surplus to requirements. His £40,000 weekly wages could be better utilized elsewhere in the squad.

While these players have been important for Wolves in the past, their high salaries and declining impacts make them potential candidates to be moved on as Pereira looks to reshape the squad and secure Premier League survival. Any funds raised from sales could be crucial for bringing in Pereira’s own targets in January.
