Ait-Nouri LEAVES Jorge Mendes' Agency In Hunt For Summer Move?!

In this episode of the 77 Club, the team reflects on Wolves’ 2-0 home defeat to Brighton, marking their second consecutive loss and dampening the momentum built under Vítor Pereira. While some on the panel felt Wolves put in a reasonable performance, others thought the game lacked energy and clinical finishing. The absence of motivation, now that Premier League survival is secured, seemed evident, with Brighton having more to play for. There was also surprise at Aguirre’s inclusion in the starting XI, interpreted as a last-chance opportunity to prove himself. A large chunk of the discussion focused on Rayan Aït-Nouri’s future. The news that he has left Jorge Mendes’ agency sparked speculation about an imminent summer move. While some fans on the panel stressed how crucial he is to the current system—highlighting his flair, improvement, and consistent performances—others questioned his defensive reliability. There's general concern about Wolves losing too many key players in the upcoming transfer window, especially with Cunha likely departing. The podcast also covered early transfer rumours, including interest in Argentinian striker Joaquín Panichelli, and stressed the importance of smart reinvestment. Away from the first team, the hosts welcomed the club’s renewed public commitment to Wolves Women after previous criticism for not applying for a Tier 2 license. They also dipped into wider football topics like the Championship playoffs, the rise of Wrexham, and the long-term risks of constantly selling star players. While the tone remained light and humorous—complete with an unexpected chess tangent—there was a clear desire for Wolves to push on next season rather than regress. Learn more about your ad choices.
