The left-back is highly-rated at Molineux, but he is behind Rayan Ait-Nouri in the pecking order, so there has been talk that he could depart on loan this month.It has been claimed that and are tracking Bueno, whilst of the 21-year-old, as Daniel Farke looks for more competition in that area of the pitch.
Therefore, that would put Celtic and Feyenoord at the top of the queue, as both clubs are guaranteed to be in the group stages of Europe’s elite competition this season, where they will play at least eight games as part of the new setup.
Interestingly, the update does add that Wolves are still reluctant to let Bueno leave, although that stance could change before the deadline, particularly if the Spain U21 international does push for a move.
Even though he would be the only natural left-back cover for Ait-Nouri, centre-back Toti Gomes has played in that position before, whilst boss Gary O’Neil utilised the experienced Matt Doherty in that role at times last season.
This is a blow for as Bueno would have been an outstanding addition for the Whites.
He is a good, technical footballer, and he has real pace and quality on the ball, which makes him a useful attacking outlet, which is what Farke wants from that role.
But, you can understand why he would want to join a Champions League club if it’s possible, as it’s the highest level of football and will no doubt help his development as a player.
From perspective, it’s about moving on and identifying other targets, as you can be sure that they have several names on their list.
Junior Firpo was much-improved last season, and if he stays fit then he will be a very good player at this level, but there is a lack of natural cover behind the former Barcelona man.
