Wolverhampton Wanderers are wasting no time in shaping their squad for the 2025/26 season. The club is closing in on a deal for highly rated Celta Vigo midfielder Fer López, with personal terms now reportedly agreed. As the transfer window begins to heat up, Wolves are positioning themselves to land one of Spain’s emerging midfield talents and potentially reunite him with a familiar face in the dressing room.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that 21-year-old Fer López has reached a personal agreement with Wolves over a long-term contract. With everything in place between the player and his agent, attention now turns to finalising an agreement between the two clubs. Wolves are understood to be negotiating directly with Celta Vigo to settle on a transfer fee; there is a reported €20 million release clause in his contract. While no deal has yet been struck, the successful agreement of personal terms is a significant step forward.
López shares a strong connection with Wolves striker Jørgen Strand Larsen, who he played alongside during their time at Celta Vigo. The pair are currently on holiday together, and their off-field friendship could make for a seamless transition should the move go through. Their on-field understanding might also offer Vítor Pereira an exciting new dynamic heading into pre-season.
The potential signing reflects Wolves’ proactive approach under Pereira as they look to reinforce key areas. López brings vision, control, and youth to midfield, a blend that could be crucial for a competitive Premier League campaign.
With personal terms and negotiations progressing, Wolves fans will be watching closely, hopeful that the club can get this one over the line in the coming days.
