Fer López’s time at Wolverhampton Wanderers looks to be nearing an early end, with reports in Spain suggesting a return to Celta Vigo is close.

Tough Start at Molineux

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has struggled to make an impact since joining Wolves from Celta Vigo in June. López has failed to score and has registered just one assist in 10 appearances across all competitions this season.

Celta Vigo Keep the Door Open

On December 2, Celta Vigo president Marián Mouriño publicly stated that López would always be welcome back at the club. That sentiment was reinforced later in the month when sporting director Marco Garcés confirmed he was actively trying to bring the player back during the winter transfer window.

Social Media Hint Sparks Speculation

According to AS, López is now preparing for an imminent return to La Liga. The Spain U21 international recently posted an Instagram photo of himself wearing a Celta Vigo shirt, accompanied by Kanye West’s Homecoming playing in the background.

Spanish media view the post as a clear signal of the player’s desire to return to his former club.

Negotiations Well Underway

AS report that Celta Vigo opened talks with Wolves several weeks ago and are increasingly confident a deal will be completed. The Spanish outlet claims the move is now “practically a done deal.”

One Detail Still to Be Finalised

The final issue to resolve is the structure of the move. Wolves and Celta Vigo must agree whether López will return on a six-month loan or an 18-month deal. A decision on that point is expected soon.
