Arokodare left out of Wolves’ Portugal camp as Fiorentina bid rejected | OneFootball

Tolu Arokodare has been left out of Wolves’ pre-season trip to Portugal as clubs circle for his signature. The squad travelled on Monday for a week-long camp.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Fiorentina had a loan bid rejected because the fee was too small. Talks between the clubs continue, and the Italians would need to raise their proposal significantly to strike a deal.

Trabzonspor also saw a loan approach turned down last week and remain in contention. Arokodare is understood to favour Italy over Türkiye, and Fiorentina are expected to return with an improved offer as European interest builds.

Wolves are open to offers, with a loan currently the most likely outcome. The 25-year-old reported back to Compton last week, but his omission from the travelling group leaves him edging towards a summer exit.

The Nigerian international joined last summer in a deal worth up to £24 million, scoring three Premier League goals and six in all competitions from 38 appearances as Wolves were relegated.

Former head coach Rob Edwards was keen to move him on after a dressing-room bust-up with team-mate Mateus Mane following the 4-0 defeat to West Ham, with Arokodare the sole aggressor. Under new boss Cesar Peixoto, he is set to play no further part next season.
