Wolves ‘name price’ for Hugo Bueno as Aston Villa target ‘could prompt’ Molineux exit | OneFootball

Wolves are said to value Hugo Bueno at £15 million amid Fiorentina interest, according to ExpressAndStar.com. The left-back has been linked with a summer exit.

Bueno is under contract until 2028 and made 35 Premier League appearances last season, yet his future is uncertain after relegation. Wolves also have David Moller Wolfe as cover at left-back.

Aston Villa are eyeing an £8 million move for Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal, who plays for Flamengo. Unai Emery is keen on the 27-year-old to compete with Matty Cash. The former Spurs full-back moved to AC Milan in 2024, then signed a three-year deal in Rio last summer.

If Villa land Royal, Flamengo could turn to Wolves’ Pedro Lima as a replacement. The 19-year-old has drawn interest this summer, including links to Atletico Mineiro earlier this week. There are said to have been no negotiations at this stage, though Flamengo could move if they need to replace Royal.

Villa attacker Lewis Dobbin could make a permanent Championship move. The 23-year-old, a £10 million signing from Everton in 2024, has since had loans with Albion, Norwich and Preston. He hit 11 goals and eight assists at Deepdale last season, and Middlesbrough, who lost the play-off final to Hull, are said to be interested in a permanent deal.
