Wolves Secure Rising Star Fer Lopez in £19m Transfer Deal from Celta Vigo

Wolves have signed 21-year-old forward Fer Lopez from Celta Vigo in a £19m deal, marking their first summer acquisition.

Wolves have made a significant move in the summer transfer window by securing the services of forward Fer Lopez from Celta Vigo in a £19m deal. The 21-year-old left-footer has signed a five-year contract with the Molineux club, signaling a new chapter in his promising career.

Lopez's Journey to Wolves Fer Lopez made his senior debut for Celta Vigo in October 2024 and quickly made an impact, scoring four goals in 20 appearances last season. His performances helped Celta Vigo finish seventh in La Liga, showcasing his potential on the big stage.

Excitement and Ambition "It's an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League and I'm very happy," Lopez shared on the Wolves website. "[Manager] Vitor [Pereira] told me he thought I was a good fit in the squad and when it's a club like this, you have little to think about. The team did very good when Vitor came and I think he is top, so I'm very excited to be with him."

Early Days and Development Lopez's journey to professional football began with a brief stint at a school in Suffolk in 2018, where he also trained with Norwich City's academy. He later joined Celta Vigo's academy at the age of 10, where he honed his skills and developed into the player he is today.

Dreams and Aspirations Reflecting on his time in Spain, Lopez said, "I cannot explain with words, because it was everything I had dreamed of. I played at the Bernabeu twice, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid - they were the best atmospheres in Spain and now I want to do the same, but in England."

Wolves' Summer Transfers Lopez's arrival follows Wolves' recent high-profile sales, including forward Matheus Cunha to Manchester United for £62.5m and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City for £31m. These moves indicate Wolves' strategy to rebuild and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

Looking Ahead With Lopez now part of the Wolves' lineup, fans are eager to see how he will adapt to the Premier League and contribute to the team's success. His signing is a testament to Wolves' commitment to nurturing young talent and competing at the highest level.
