This summer, Wolves rejected Newcastle's offer for the Norwegian international, and are ready to reject the third offer of about £60 million. Club chairman Shi Yu had a tough attitude on the issue of Larson's stay or not, and made it clear to Newcastle that the players are not selling goods. After two failed bids, Newcastle turned to sign Brentford's Visa, who completed the franchise on the transfer deadline.
According to the Daily Telegraph on August 25, the Wolves originally planned to provide Larson with a new contract after closing the window, and have now negotiated with the player representatives. It is understood that the new contract is unlikely to include a termination clause. Although Wolves negotiated with Cunha this year to set a £62.5 million termination fee (the Brazil international eventually joined Manchester United), the renewal is seen as a more pure move to retain people.
Larson has only completed a permanent transfer from Celta for £23 million this summer (last season was loaned). He has grown into a key player under coach Vitor Pereira. Although he has a slight discomfort in the recent Achilles tendon, he is still expected to play against Newcastle this weekend. Wolves are still seeking their first point after losing three consecutive times in the new season.
