But while fans are still processing the heartbreak⌠something even more brutal is unfolding behind the scenes.
💣 A mass exodus is coming.
Relegation doesnât just hurt pride â it tears squads apart. Contracts, ambitions, wages, and top-flight dreams all collide⌠and suddenly, staying in the Championship becomes a hard sell for players who believe they belong at the top.
And right now? Several Wolves stars are already being linked with exits.
Here are 5 players most likely to leave immediately â and why fans are bracing for another painful chapter.
🔥 1. JoĂŁo Gomes â âToo Good for the Championship?â
If thereâs ONE name every Premier League scout is circling⌠itâs JoĂŁo Gomes.
The Brazilian midfielder has been one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise disastrous season. His energy, tackling, and relentless engine have made him stand out â even when Wolves were collapsing around him.
Reports suggest heâs already on the radar of top clubs, with interest building fast. ďż˝

And letâs be honest â players like Gomes donât stick around in the Championship.
💬 Fans are already saying:
âHeâs gone. No way he plays second-tier football.â
If Wolves want to rebuild, selling Gomes could fund it⌠but losing him would leave a massive hole in midfield.
⚡ 2. AndrĂŠ â The Silent Operator Everyone Wants
Not as flashy as Gomes, but just as important â AndrĂŠ could quietly be one of the first out the door.
The Brazilian playmaker was a major signing, and even before relegation, bigger clubs were watching closely. ďż˝

Now that Wolves are down?
💰 His value has become a lifeline for the club⌠and an opportunity for others.
Teams chasing European football are reportedly considering moves â and Wolves may have no choice but to cash in.
👉 Translation: Heâs probably already packing.
🚀 3. Mateus ManĂŠ â The Wonderkid Everyone Wants to Steal
Every relegated club has that ONE young star that triggers a transfer warâŚ
For Wolves, itâs Mateus ManĂŠ.
At just 18, heâs already proven he can handle Premier League football â and that alone makes him incredibly valuable. ďż˝

And when those offers arrive, it becomes a test of ambition vs loyalty.
Right now? Itâs 50/50 â but fans are worried.
🛡️ 4. Hugo Bueno â The Position Everyone Is Desperate For

😳 Why This Is About to Get WORSE for Wolves Fans
Hereâs the brutal truth:
Relegation rarely stops at one or two exits.
It becomes a domino effect.
High wages need to be cut
Ambitious players want top-flight football
Clubs come hunting for bargains
And Wolves? Theyâre the perfect target.
In fact, this isnât even new.
The club has already been criticized for repeatedly selling key players without properly replacing them â a strategy many believe contributed directly to this collapse. ďż˝
