Football Insider revealed on 27 October that Pereira is close to being sacked by Wolves and could be given just three games to save his job before the international break.
However, it is not just the manager’s future causing concerns at Molineux, with doubts now growing surrounding a number of their star players.
Among those linked with a move away is Joao Gomes, who has been a crucial player in the heart of Vitor Pereira’s midfield, but could soon be tempted away.
Gomes signed a new contract at Wolves in April to extend his stay until 2030 and deter growing interest after his impressive displays last season.
However, as a result of the ongoing turmoil at Molineux, a number of “top clubs” in the Premier League and abroad have sent scouts to keep tabs on Gomes’ performances.
That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that Wolves will “inevitably” lose star players if they are relegated.
“Given the situation at Wolves, it’s going to be difficult,” he told Football Insider.
A lot of top clubs in the Premier League will be looking at Wolves and thinking, which of these players could be available to us if they get relegated?
“It’s inevitable, the clubs who back themselves to stay up will start assessing the ones in trouble and seeing which of their players might improve them.
“We saw it last year with Southampton, players like Tyler Dibling and Mateus Fernandes left.
“It’s a shame for Wolves, because they had built a strong squad, and they won’t want to lose their best players, but they’ll be concerned some could walk away.
The midfielder joined Wolves in January 2023 from Flamengo for £15million, and any exit would likely land them a significant profit on his sale.
While they are extremely reluctant to lose their star players, there is a growing feeling they could be forced to sell, particularly if they suffer relegation.
