This summer has been about balancing the books as much as strengthening the squad, with one familiar face returning to Molineux on a free transfer and César Peixoto arriving as the new man in charge.

Here, Football FanCast tracks every confirmed Wolves signing and departure for the 2026/27 campaign.

New Wolves Signings 2026/27

Rafiki Said has joined from Standard Liege having scored eight goals for the Belgian outfit in all competitions, adding a new option out wide. The young winger has an impressive international record for Comoros, scoring eight times in 21 caps.

Ladislav Krejci completes a £6m move from Girona to bolster the centre-back options following his successful loan spell at Molineux last year, when he played 28 times in the Premier League, scoring twice.

Raul Jimenez has returned to Wolves on a free transfer from Fulham, coming back to the club where he scored 57 goals across a five-year spell. Kieran Trippier has also joined on a free, arriving from Newcastle to add Premier League and international experience at right-back.

Wolves Departures 2026/27

Joao Gomes has left for Aston Villa in a deal worth around £34m plus add-ons, one of the summer's bigger departures as Wolves finally cash in on the Brazilian midfielder, who has long been linked with moves to some of the country's top clubs.

Matt Doherty has joined Sheffield United on a free transfer, while Tolu Arokodare has gone out on loan to Ajax.

Who is Wolves' Record Signing?

Wolves' record signing is Matheus Cunha, who joined from Atletico Madrid in 2022 for a fee of £44m.

The Brazilian striker initially arrived on loan in January 2023 before the move was made permanent, and he went on to star for a struggling Wolves side before his eventual move to Manchester United.

By the time he left Molineux, Cunha had scored 33 times in 92 games for the club.
