With the transfer window now open again until 1 September, we asked you to tell us one player you want Wolves to sign, and a player you want to be sold this summer.

Here are some of your comments:

Jordan: If I could sell one player it would be Sam Johnstone and if I could buy a player it would be James McAtee because he is a sensational player and he would be a good fit at Wolves.

Matt: I would sell Johnstone, Guedes, Silva and Doyle as he doesn't fit our system. I would sign Harvey Elliott and pursue a loan for Spurs' Mikey Moore. We need creative wide players!

Edward: I would sell Guedes. He doesn't get enough game time and needs to move on. I'd sign Gonçalo Ramos as he fits the Portuguese theme for Wolves and we need someone to test Strand-Larsen in the striker position.

No sooner does the season finish and we start looking forward to key dates for the next campaign - and that will be a lot easier to do on Wednesday when the Premier League fixtures are released.

That's right, that special day in the calendar is almost here already. The day when you'll learn details of derby fixtures, Christmas opponents and end-of-season run-ins.

This page will bring you all the fixtures when they drop at 09:00 BST on Wednesday and we'll be giving you the chance to have your say on how things look.

The new campaign kicks off on the weekend of Saturday, 16 August and it will conclude on Sunday, 24 May 2026, when all 10 games will take place at the same time.

Wolves have revealed the details of a restructure of their behind-the-scenes footballing team.

Domenico Teti has beenb appointed as director of professional football at Molineux. Teti has previously held roles at Sampdoria and Al-Shabab, where he worked with Wolves boss Vitor Pereira.

Matt Jackson, who joined the club in 2021, has a new role as director of player recruitment and development, and a club statement said he will work closely with Teti and other senior executives from the football department.

The football leadership team also includes newly appointed director of performance Phil Hayward, director of football operations and administration Matt Wild and PR and communications director Max Fitzgerald.

Teti said: "I am truly excited to join the Wolverhampton Wanderers family and to feel the passion of its fans, who embody the soul and spirit of this historic club," said Teti.

"It is an honour to be part of something so special."

Wolves chairman Jeff Shi said Teti's "international background and experience at senior levels will bring fresh insight to the club", adding: "This leadership group provides clear expertise across all operational areas, ensuring alignment and strong collaboration throughout the football department."

The transfer window is open again for summer business to be conducted.

Clubs can now strike deals until the deadline at 19:00 BST on 1 September.

So if you can sell one player, who is it? And if you can buy one player only, who gets the nod?

Give us reasons for your choice but remember, in this instance it's a strict one player leaving and one coming in.

We asked for your thoughts on who Wolves should sign to replace the output of Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri as they both head to Manchester.

Here are some of your comments:

Robert: Evann Guessand, Renan and James McAtee. Also maybe a replacement for Semedo at wing back, plus at least one number 10 on loan. Also buy new goalkeeper and sell Johnstone.

Richard: Wolves should be looking at Harvey Elliott, Paul Nebel and James McAtee in my opinion.

Spencer: With Hugo Bueno coming back it looks as if there won't be a new replacement for Ait-Nouri perhaps. So who will replace Cunha? From past experience I know that it will probably be a player who is on the books with a certain Portuguese agent. Could be good, could be very average. Personally speaking, maybe someone like Jonathan David (Lille) might be a good fit.

Anthony: Jack Grealish would be very welcome addition.

Paul: It will be players who we don't know from the French leagues - along the lines of Agbadou and Munetsi, who have been excellent.

Dairve: Wolves' owners will scour the leagues of Europe looking for raw teenage talent which they can sell on in a couple of years for a huge profit. The kind of philosophy that will get us relegated eventually.

Wolves have waved Matheus Cunha out of the door and on his way to Manchester United.

The Brazilian delivered 15 goals and six assists for the Old Gold in 2024-25. That combined tally of 21 is more than any United player has delivered in the league in either of the past two campaigns.

And what's worse than losing a special player who contributes in such a way? Maybe losing two.

Rayan Ait-Nouri offered four goals and seven assists last term.

Wolves scored 54 times in the league and Cunha or Ait-Nouri had a role in 32 of them. Basically, 59% of Wolves' goals or assist from last season have exited.

Cunha and Ait-Nouri were first and third on the Wolves table for goals and assists combined. Jorgen Strand Larsen - sat between the two - now has pressure on his shoulders.

So how do Wolves replace the seismic loss of two key men? How do they reinvest the £90m banked from the sales?

Wolves are willing to let midfielder Goncalo Guedes leave this summer as Vitor Pereira reshapes his squad.

The club has already banked over £90m following the sales of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City.

Guedes cost Wolves £27.5m when he joined from from Valencia in 2022 but has made just 18 Premier League starts.

He has spent two loan spells at Benfica and also six months at Villarreal in 2024.

Guedes, 28, returned to Molineux and 33 of his 51 appearances for the club came last season.

"I'm not sure about Goncalo Guedes, because he has a contract with us," boss Vitor Pereira said via Portuguese outlet Record earlier this week.

"I like him, but he's been there for a few years and has this ambition to leave."

The club has been looking at left-backs and number 10s to replace Ait-Nouri and Cunha - although Hugo Bueno is due to return from his loan spell at Feyenoord to be a contender for the left-back spot.

Right-back remains a priority with Nelson Semedo out of contract and yet to sign the new deal on offer at Molineux.

Wolves are also due to appoint Domenico Teti as part of their internal shake-up. Teti worked with Pereira at Al Shabab and is expected to come in as sporting director after the departure of Matt Hobbs last week.

With left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri joining Manchester City for £31m, attention at Wolves turns to replacements.

Forward Matheus Cunha also swapped Molineux for Manchester, moving to United for £62.5m , so Wolves have done good business early and that should allow boss Vitor Pereira to shape his squad.

They are in the market for a left-back and Hugo Bueno will return from his loan at Feyenoord to compete for the spot.

The 22-year-old played 29 times, including in the Champions League, as Feyenoord finished third in the Eredivisie.

Pereira is a fan, so I expect Bueno - who has been at the club for five years - to be back at Molineux next season. In the meantime, Wolves will also look for another left-back to provide competition.

A right-back - with captain Nelson Semedo out of contract and yet to sign the new deal offered - and at least one number 10 are also on Pereira's wishlist.

We asked for your views on Rayan Ait-Nouri's five-year spell at Molineux coming to an end.

The Algeria international has completed a £31m move to Manchester City, so will Wolves miss him next season or will he be easily replaced this summer?

Here are some of your comments:

Simmo: What a gift. Man City must be rubbing their hands together. I was under the impression that it is in our club's interest to get the best price possible. He should have been at least £45m. Wolves need all the transfer monies they can just to replace the player sold and then they even need more to strengthen the squad.

Mark: I wish him all the best at Man City, but why are we selling him on the cheap? Pep Guardiola does not buy £31m players he buys £50m players. We needed to play hardball, a bit like Brighton do, to get a much better and fairer price for him.

Geoff: He has been good for Wolves, but he isn't great defensively. I'm not sure he is good enough for City. We are happy to take their money again.

Gareth: I'm happy. Hugo Bueno is a better player. He is less flashy but can defend and cross, and he doesn't stand on the ball to give the opposition time to get back. Once he has the opportunity, he attacks. Let's hope we can spend on some reinforcements in the attacking areas. I'm optimistic for this season.

Gary: A ridiculous decision. We should be building our team around him, Emmanuel Agbadou, Joao Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen. We need to give Vitor Pereira a chance next season, yet we have sold two of our three best players. We don't want to become a club that is fighting relegation every season. It's up to Fosun now as to what kind of a club they want us to be.

Tony: I am fed up with Fosun selling our best players. It will be another season at the bottom of the table and more frustration for the fans. Fosun if you don't invest for success, sell the club.

Today is the first of two transfer deadline days this summer as the window shuts for seven days before reopening on 16 June.

In a change to the summer transfer window norm, it opened early to allow clubs involved in the Fifa Club World Cup 10 days to sign players for inclusion in the competition.

Whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.

Rayan Ait-Nouri has completed his move to Manchester City, bringing a five-year spell at Molineux to an end.

After signing on-loan from French side Angers in October 2020, the Algerian international made a permanent move to Wolves July 2021.

Since then, the wing-back has made 157 appearances for the club, scoring 12 goals and delivering 19 assists.

We want to know how you're feeling about his exit - will Wolves miss him next season or will he be easily replaced this summer? What are your hopes for the transfer window?

It is not just at the top of the Premier League where American ownership has a foothold in English football.

Twenty years on from the Glazer takeover of Manchester United, one third of the 72 EFL clubs now have either majority or minority US backers.

In a special episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Kelly Cates is joined by a group of experts to investigate whether this trend is likely to continue.

On Tuesday, the first of two summer transfer windows will come to a close.

So, do you expect business to be done at Wolves before the deadline? Do you want players to come in or exit? If so, what or who do you think is needed?

Wolves have announced their retained list and confirmed they have made a contract offer to captain Nelson Semedo.

The Portugal right-back's existing deal ends later this month.

Spanish midfielder Pablo Sarabia and defender Craig Dawson will leave the club when their contracts expire at the end of June.

Sarabia's exit was already known, while Dawson has not featured in the first team since December.

Until not so long ago, that might usually have felt like a pointless question.

Once appointed, the manager was assumed to have command - within the parameters, financial or otherwise, set by his employers, anyway. The manager set the tactical policies, enforced discipline, selected or at least had right of veto over new signings, and everyone on the football side of the club was therefore theoretically working to their plan.

It was the manager's way, or no way, until the day the board called their number.

The game moved on, at least at the higher levels. Perhaps the football department of a Premier League club is now just too big for one man to manage it all. For a while, replacing "manager" on the office door with "head coach" might have felt like an affectation, but now the head coach position often appears one of a suite of job titles given equal billing on a club's organisational chart.

As the head coach is the only one required to front up in public on a regular basis to account for his club's form, when they speak you can get a feeling about whether their stock is rising or falling internally. This may not indicate internal conflict. But it often indicates the degree of influence the head coach is about to have.

After hiring him to rescue the team from a perilous situation last December, it now seems that Wolves are ready to line up behind Vitor Pereira, making him first-among-equals on the football side, just as Nuno undoubtedly was when Wolves first drafted him in eight years ago.

The suggestion that the new technical director - not sporting director, spot the difference - will be a colleague of Pereira in his most recent job points to this.

The reshuffle has left Matt Hobbs without a seat, which could be considered a harsh verdict, depending where you start from. Over the past two years he was, at various times, praised for finding Gary O'Neil and blamed for finding Gary O'Neil. The signings in January that helped Pereira fix their season were on Hobbs' watch, and make for a positive final contribution.

Arguably, there were a few moments during his tenure as sporting director when Hobbs was the most important - or at least most influential - person at Wolves. But for now it seems the board have heard the supporters' praise for Pereira, read the room and fallen in behind him.

Changes at Wolves point to Vitor Pereira holding a more influential voice at the club in future.

That's the view of writer and broadcaster Johnny Phillips, as changes play out at the club with sporting director Matt Hobbs leaving his role on Wednesday., external

Wolves were embroiled in a relegation battle before Pereira took over to help them finish the season 17 points clear of the drop.

"What we are seeing now with Matt Hobbs' departure and the possible incoming of a technical director and a bit of restructuring around the club is that Pereira's voice will be heard more so than recent managers," Phillips told BBC WM.

"The role of sporting director won't exist in the current shape. There's talk of a technical director could be coming in, Domenico Teti has been mentioned, having worked with Vito Pereira at Al-Shabab.

"There's also an increased role for Matt Jackson from his current remit. So, there is a little reshuffle going on, and I expect Wolves to be more fluid.

"The past two years have had a slight sense of waste about them. Wolves have been on the back foot, behind the eight-ball, and then spent time trying to recover positions. But it would be nice to think that you could have a starting block where the squad would be in good shape at the start of the season, rather than maybe bringing in players in the mid-season transfer window and desperately trying to avoid relegation battle."

We asked for your questions for BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha on your Premier League club.

Idris asked how Nedum thinks Wolves will cope without Matheus Cunha and possibly Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Cunha may have joined Manchester United, and Ait-Nouri looks set to join him in Manchester at City, but I think Wolves will be fine.

This is not to diminish the quality of those two players, but football finds ways to move on and the recruitment possibilities the club will have with the money they would bring in for those two could again help redesign the team in the way the manager wants.

We saw a really good version of Wolves in that second half of last season under Vitor Pereira in the way he made them tougher to play against and still kept them as an exciting side.

But they will still definitely be able to overcome these exits. If you lose your starters it should not mean the end of days for your side.

They will be fine - but what "fine" means exactly, I'm not sure. I think Pereira is going to be someone who is hugely ambitious going forward, otherwise the Wolves hierarchy would not have bought him. I think, as a minimum, they will not be in danger of relegation.

Cunha and Ait-Nouri have been really good servants for the team in terms of what has been needed in the past few years, but Wolves will always find a way.

There have been spells when those guys have not been available - especially Cunha when he was suspended towards the end of the campaign - and Wolves have been fine.

A football club should never be led by just one or two players and they very rarely are.

As Wolves did when Cunha was out, the manager adjusts his tactics. Both he and Ait-Nouri look vital when they are on the pitch, but the game looks different without them. It is not like they play with two players fewer.

Pereira has shown his tactical flexibility already in the absence of Cunha, and the results were very positive.

You will always appreciate having really talented players in your team. But Wolves are adaptable and offer different approaches, which means - more often than not - they will be fine regardless of whoever is in or out.
