Wolves have been tirelessly restructuring their team for the upcoming season, despite the summer transfer window closing.
This summer brought significant changes at Compton, with players moving in and out. The latest development reveals Daniel Podence bidding farewell to Wolves after a five-year stint in the Midlands to kickstart a new chapter in Saudi Arabia.
Podence wasn’t the only departure from Molineux this summer, and more exits were anticipated. Amidst speculations, Wolves are set to secure Dan Bentley with a renewed contract offer despite interest from another Premier League club such as Arsenal.
Although Arsenal eyed Bentley initially, they eventually signed Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto instead. Amidst uncertainties surrounding Bentley’s future, Wolves are now expected to prolong his stay by two more years.
The decision to extend Bentley’s contract has further implications, particularly for Jose Sa. While Sa is likely to remain at Wolves, his position as the top goalkeeper is now in question as Bentley is anticipated to move up as the backup behind Sam Johnstone.
These developments mark a significant shift in the goalkeeping hierarchy at Wolves, especially following the offseason speculations and uncertainties. With Johnstone emerging as the primary choice, O’Neil’s decision on the pecking order seems clear, signaling a new chapter in Wolves’ goalkeeping setup.
